Upcoming...
SILENT SKY by Lauren Gunderson, dir. Susan Stroupe with Perisphere Theater
I am thrilled to be joining Perisphere Theater's 2026 season as the resident dramaturg, starting with their beautiful upcoming production of Lauren Gunderson's Silent Sky. I will be dramaturging the piece for actors and audiences alike, centering the incredible women the story illuminates! I will be leading a book club centering Margot Lee Shetterly's Hidden Figures in tandem with the run of performances which anyone can join. There are plenty of opportunities to dig deeper into this amazing slice of history, so join us for one event or all three! Get Tickets Here
PLAY IN A DAY presented by Imagination Stage
I will be returning for my second time to direct for the annual Play in a Day Festival, hosted by Imagination Stage. I will be collaborating with my friends, playwright Zoe Haar and actors Amber Patrice Coleman and Kayla Earl, on a zany adventure to build a piece of art centering a secret prop and theme that we will not know until the night before. Zoe will write the play overnight and work with me and the actors to craft a performance by the next night that is open to the public. Thank you to Rorschach Theatre for allowing me to represent them in this forum, and I can't wait to play!
MARBLE ROOFTOP by Eliana Theologides Rodriguez, Round House Theatre
For the third time since its inception, I will be joining the National Capital New Play Festival as a dramaturg for one of their developmental presentations. Alongside three other new play development projects, we will have two public readings in early March where I will be facilitating talkbacks with the playwright to help their project grow and transform over the course of the workshop. I am so excited to be returning to one of my original artistic homes at Round House! I am so honored to work with Eliana Theologides Rodriguez, whose play Indian Princess was also featured last year. You can buy tickets starting January 29th HERE.
IMPOSED by Ben Hatt, NYU Theatre and Policy Salon
Fresh off a short run at the UK's Hope Theatre, I am very excited to be directing a staged reading of Ben Hatt's timely technological thriller, IMPOSED, as part of the discussion series hosted by NYU's Theatre and Policy Salon at the John Brademas Center in downtown DC. After the performance there will be a panel of experts to discuss the impacts of AI on the law-- a concept central to the play's action. Stay tuned for more information on performance dates and ticketing.
