Upcoming Reading!

If you've been checking up on me for a while, you know I have a long-standing relationship with Bigger Than a Breadbox Theatre Co. This May, I am incredibly excited to be partnering up with them to present a reading of my new play Happy/Hungry. I've included the blurb for the show below, but you can also find information about it in their most recent newsletter! And if you're not on the newsletter, I encourage you to sign up on the BTaB website!
When Ella is sent by her stepmother to the Forest Witch for fire, she was never supposed to survive — and perhaps she doesn't. After all, the woman that comes out on the other side of the forest seems altogether different. Darkly comic, Happy/Hungry strips bare the stories we tell ourselves after we've partnered with monsters to get what we want.

I'm thrilled to announce that this May, I'll be directing a modern adaptation of Plautus' underappreciated comedy Casina for Stanford Classics In Theater! We'll be turning SCIT into an all-star American Burlesque troop, performing this hilarious farce filled with sex, cross dressing, fighting, and some song-and-dance!

MS. BOVARY

Coming This October!

Hi everyone!

I'm very excited to be able to give you more details about my upcoming Fall show, 
Ms. Bovary! This is a project that's been in the works for a while, and we can't wait to bring it to the public in just a few weeks!

Ms. Bovary is a collaborative, newly devised adaptation of Madame Bovary that uproots Emma's struggle from 19th century rural France, and plants it squarely into suburban Maryland. We've been working to put together the script for months, and have been constantly thrilled by how much all of her temptations seem so familiar, even though the book was written over a century and a half ago.

Ticket sales are going up later this week, but for now we need your help to make it happen! Take a look at our IndieGoGo page to see some cool prizes you can get for your support, and I'll let you know the moment you can get a ticket!

I've been TOO BUSY TO UPDATE for the past few weeks, and here's why:

Lincoln Center Director's Lab

First of all, a big thank you to everyone at Lincoln Center for bringing me in as a guest playwright for their Director's Lab!

It was fantastic to spend a week working on Phantomwise with these amazing directors, actors, and designer.

Coming This October...

I'm teaming up with a group of actors and a phenomenal playwright to present an all-new, collaboratively devised adaptation of Madame Bovary the weekend of October 18th at the Access Theater in TriBeCa. We've been putting together the text for a few months, and I think it's going to be pretty exciting. I'll let you know more about it soon!

My newest play, The Assessment, will be coming to the New York International Fringe Festival this summer!

The play is a deeply personal one-person show that I'm very excited to be sharing with you. The incomparable Nora Ives (assistant director, Triassic Parq) will be taking the helm, and it will be performed by the sublime Alex Grubbs (These Seven Sicknesses, a cautionary tail).

I'll let you know as soon as I have dates, but turn your browsers to www.assessmentplay.com regularly for more information!
