ROUND HOUSE THEATRE: NATIONAL CAPITAL NEW PLAY FESTIVAL
In the second annual Capital New Play Festival, I had the pleasure of dramaturging two of the five 29 hour AEA workshops presented alongside our two world premieres. I had the pleasure of working with playwright Sharyn Rothstein and Artistic Director Ryan Rilette on Bad Books as well as playwright Preston Choi's limp wrist on the lever, directed by Ethan Heard. These wildly differently but equally riveting projects truly showed me the breadth and depth of work that can be accomplished in just one week with a roomful of brilliant creatives.
ROUND HOUSE THEATRE: JENNIFER, WHO IS LEAVING BY MORGAN GOULD
In April of 2022, Round House sponsored its first annual Capital New Play Festival, in which I had the privilege to dramaturg the 29 hour AEA workshop of Jennifer, Who Is Leaving written and directed by Morgan Gould. This year, it is receiving its world premiere on the mainstage and I will be assistant directing the director/playwright. I am having a blast diving back into this heartfelt, silly, sucker punch of a play and I am thrilled to be working on my first world premiere with this incredible team of women. Get tickets here for our production, and make sure to catch the other world premiere running in rep with ours, On the Far End by Mary Katherine Nagel.

SPOOKY ACTION THEATRE: GRIEF CONTAINERS BY ROBIN BERL
I instantly connected with Spooky Action's Director of New Work, Gillian Drake, and I was so excited to be invited to both read scripts for and direct in their new play festival presentations in March. I read Grief Containers by Robin Berl and connected with the duality of grief and joy, and the patience and love required to cope with feeling both at the same time. I am presenting on the third day of presentations for the WE ARE NOT ALONE short play reading series on March 19th. Stay tuned for information on ticketing and streaming here!
