Not About Nightingales
I directed a staged reading for LPTW and Julia’s Reading room of Tennessee Williams early play setting it in a women’s prison instead of a man’s to see how it would hold up to a gender shift and it did. Looking forward to the opportunity to direct a full production in the future.

Balloon Chain – Coachella
I worked on an art crew at Coachella. Our project was to interact with the general public, hand people a chain of balloons that stretched across a field so that they could play with them, and to keep the balloons from running into concert structures.

50 Ways…
I am the Creator and co-Director of this brand new Play ! 
Upcoming Play 50 Ways.. to perform at Capital Fringe July 18- 28th- for more details follow link – 50Waysplay.com
50 Ways… is a performance of fifty brief scenes of people leaving their loves, inspired by Paul Simon’s 1974 song, “50 Ways to Leave Your Lover.” This tour-de force explores the possible ways one choose to leave gracefully, or not. Fourteen different writers have written 50 mini-scenes. Their stories explore the varied ways we find to move on. Some will be familiar, some bizarre, some hilarious, and some tragic, but all ultimately connecting us to an ability to seek what we need and not settle for less. An ensemble cast of six actors inhabit all of the roles.
How did you leave your last lover? These are your stories. Come see your story up on stage.
