MACBETH

October 21- November 4, 2016

WWII-set Shakespeare condensed to a heart-pumping two-hour ride. I am still approached at parties about how much people were spooked by and enjoyed this show at Atlantic Beach Experimental Theatre.

THE COMPARABLES

May 13 - 22, 2016

It was an honor and joy to direct this piece penned by my college playwriting professor, Laura Schellhardt, whose acerbic wit and silver tongue I envy always, and played by three tremendous actresses whom I took to an aikido class for research.

WAR PAINT: A SUMMER CAMP STORY

This original one act chronicles the night before summer camp ends: games are afoot, friendships will be tested, and hearts may be broken, all by the glow of the stars and in the beams of the flashlights. Offers colorblind and some gender flexible casting.
