2010: Lorinne debuted in February with her ukulele, vocals & taps in the Bindlestiff Family Cirkus Variety Night, followed two weeks later by gigs at Freddy's Bar and the American Crossword Puzzle Tournament Awards Show. Since then, Lorinne has brought "Uke-Lola" to many shows, such as the Barnum Bicentennial at the Coney Island Museum, "Tiny, Dangerous, Fun" at Sycamore Bar, and "Catberet" at the Laurie Beechman Theatre.
Her 2010 variety show performances also include "Jack the Ripper's Holiday Spectacular" (Bowery Poetry Club); "Trav S.D.'s Last Chance Saloon" (Dixon Place); and "Terribly Good", a New York Cares benefit (Roy Arias Theater Center). She recently performed as a juggler in the Big Apple Circus ring on the TV show "What Not to Wear" (episode airing in 2011).
2009: Lorinne played the principal role "Coochie Kovack" in the jazzy new musical "Top of the Heap" presented by the Gallery Players (October 24th - November 15th). That August, Lorinne appeared as "Lydia" in "Far Out - the New Sci-Fi Musical Comedy" (New York Magazine Critic's Pick) at the Minetta Lane Theatre. Earlier in 2009, Lorinne did her first on-camera acting work in a film directed by Brian and Greg Wilson (still in production), as hyperambitious television reporter "Sarah Glass". In January and February 2009, she enjoyed performing in her second show with The Gallery Players, appearing as "Gloria" in "Thoroughly Modern Millie" (her first show at Gallery Players was "Victor/Victoria" in Spring 2007).
In 2008, Lorinne discovered she wanted to develop juggling ability to add to her special skills, and for a while that was her focus. She made her debut juggling on stage in the Tuckaberry holiday cabaret show "Home for the Holidays with Granny Tuckaberry" (December 2008). She recently performed in "A Midsummer Night's Dream" (Petra Quince/Peaseblossom) with Tuckaberry Productions, and choreographed that spring's original musical, "Aesop's Foibles". In 2007, she sang in a new musical revue of the work of British music hall duo Flanders and Swann ("A Flanders and Swann House Party", at the York Theatre and Snapple Theater Center). Lorinne has been seen in New York as "Bitty Kitty" in "Bitty Bear's Matinee: The Family Tree" and as a motley assortment of characters in "The American Girls Revue" at American Girl Place, culminating in a triumphant performance as "Bitty Kitty" at the White House Easter Egg Roll in 2006.
While earning her BFA in Musical Theatre from Emerson College, she appeared in numerous shows, among them "Follies", "Candide", "Children of Eden", "Into The Woods," "Assassins", "A Funny Thing...Forum", "Hello Again", and "Berlin To Broadway". During this time, she directed and choreographed William Finn's "A New Brain" and co-hosted WERS 88.9 FM's musical theater program "Standing Room Only." Since moving to New York, she has performed musical and non-musical shows with such diverse groups as the Lycian Center, Brooklyn Family Theatre, Paper Bag Players, Tuckaberry Productions, the Gallery Players, the Donnell Library's "Songbook Series" and the New York International Fringe Festival.
