She is currently up for parole in the state of New York and is preparing to serve time in New Jersey.

Some of these reenactments contain scenes of violence.  If that’s not something you’re comfortable with, this is not your show!  (NO scenes of intimacy or sexual nature.)

The rate for the Featured Talent in reenactments is $225/ day.

The rate for background talent is $153/ day.  (There are only a few extras on any given day.)

There is NO travel included on this (only available to the roles of BILL and IVIE), so seeking people willing to work local.
