Her original two-person shows An Evening of Awkward Romance and Another Evening of Awkward Romance, which she also performed in, both garnered mentions in the New York Times. the first ran at the Tank in 2012 and the second at the New York International Fringe Festival in 2013 to rave reviews. Another Evening of Awkward Romance was selected by Indie Theater Now for publication as part of their FringeNYC 2013 Fringe Collection. Wendy is one of the founding members of the long-form improv group Stray, and has appeared in the independent feature films Filmic Achievement and the Changeling.

With Stray she has done runs with the PIT, the Magnet Theater, and the Tank, as well as performed at various improv festivals in the region. She has also performed with Jen Nails as Jen and Wendy at venues all around the city, and with the groups Leche and the Mamas and the Papas at the Magnet Theater.

Evening Of Awkward Romance, An
Synopsis:
an evening of awkward Romance introduces a collection of oddball characters on their quest to find love. Two proofreaders lust over grammatical errors; a woman with a movie-related "affliction" finds her Prince Charming; a couple of misfits find true love at a funeral home. these and other vignettes are interwoven to create a hilarious (and at times poignant) celebration of the search for the elusive "soul-mate."
