VJ's Acting Career ...

VJ has been an actress all her life. From backyard circuses and school plays to worldwide-distributed TV shows and professional stage productions, this has always been her destiny.

The "rockin' transformational musical" called RADICALOVE made its world premiere in 2008 at Palm Springs' Annenberg Theatre.  This original music and story played to packed houses and standing ovations every night!  With a cast of about 20, the play's choreography, technical work, and talent delighted its audiences.
