She performed in Women and War: Stories, played Jean in David’s Redhaired Death, Laura in Pumpkins for Smallpox, “She” in Here We Are for Re-Focused, and Jesse in 'night, Mother opposite Kay Schmitt. She co-wrote and performed The Day I Fell In Love with My Ukulele with Chloe Johnston, and acted in Here Comes The Brides for 20%'s festival of short pieces Snapshots.  Abigail co-produced  Jane: Abortion and the Underground, and is currently co-producing Snapshots 2007. 

Abigail is also a company member at Strawdog Theatre Company.  Aside from 20% and Strawdog, she has played with The House, Collaboraction and Naked Eye Theatre Co. 

Abigail graduated, with honors, from Smith College, MA in 2002 with a dual degree in theatre and political science.
