"Of the roughly 10 roles that she plays, cycling through them with dizzying speed and dazzling finesse, Salpini brings each of them to vivid, perfect life. Her gift for comedy is, in itself, a certain kind of magic."

COVID Update
Wishing everyone health during this challenging time. Most of my live performance work isn't on the table right now, but I'm definitely not playing it safe....I'm cooking up a webseries! Stay tuned :D It's gonna be goofy, smart, and (hopefully) just the right amount of weird.
I'm also offering remote lessons now; head on over to my Lessons tabs for more info or submit an inquiry on the Contact page.
