The play "Power in the Blood" at The Alliance Rep Theatre Co was a fun show, with an extended run that closed Sept 17. It's a drama set in the deep South about a young boy who has the stigmata, and how people in his life exploit him. Or do they...? I played the boy's boozed-up, oversexed sister. FUN!

Thanks to all who came to see the show!

As Sister, the angular Deb Hiett is a house-rattling find. -- LOS ANGELES TIMES 8/5/05

This production is strong in performances, particularly
supporting player Deb Hiett as Ezekiel's barfly half-sister.... -- LA WEEKLY 8/4/05

The sister is an over-sexed alcoholic (a strong performance by Deb Hiett) who torments her brother by saying he’s a freak and no more than a religious hysteric. -- TOLUCAN TIMES 8/4/05

We taped a new sketch for "Real Time with Bill Maher" which is aired on the final show of last season on HBO. So much fun to shoot -- Scott Carter and the whole crew were great to work with.

We taped a new sketch for "Real Time with Bill Maher" which is aired on the final show of last season on HBO. I played a highly conservative mom who is concerned about her son learning such "dangerous" theories as "evolution" and "global warming," so she calls the "Un-Learning Annex."

So much fun to shoot -- Scott Carter and the whole crew were great to work with.

Producer Scott Carter cast me as a home shopping network hostess with Bill Maher, in a comedy sketch for his show "Real Time with Bill Maher." It was a blast to shoot -- it was a fake ad for a protective "club" for feeding tubes, So edgy, HBO wouldn't even air it!!

But at least the check cleared.

Check out some of the reviews for "Fractured Fairy Tales from the East" at NoHo Arts Center:

"The Sun (channeling Brando's "Godfather") and the hilariously lugubrious Rain [are] both played by Hiett with deft comic timing.... Hiett earns laughs as the woodsman's magical deer advisor." -- Los Angeles Times, 1/20/05

"Deb Hiett excels in her comedic characters--particularly as a deer with an attitude..." -- Backstage West, 1/13/05

"Hiett really stands out with her constant accent changes and well-executed mannerisms." -- Valley Scene Magazine, 2/4/05

“This accomplished comedic actor is often responsible for the height of onstage hilarity.” --Backstage West, 1/20/05

Thanks to all who came to see our show -- it was great fun!

You know those comforting-yet-mildly-creepy female voices that you hear when going through a help tutorial for some new software program? Well, I've joined their ranks!
