NEWS & UPCOMING PROJECTS

~On Tuesday, December 3rd, 2024, I’m directing a full-length reading of a Berkshire Voices script for Great Barrington Public Theater! I’ve heard pages from this script in Berkshire Voices meetings, and I’ve already had the privilege of directing a workshop over Zoom of one scene.

GREATER THINGS by Andy Reynolds
In the midst of a blinding snowstorm, Otto appears unexpectedly on the doorstep of his oldest friend (and former boyfriend) Marsh, who has relocated to northern Vermont with his husband to escape a complicated life in New York City, where Marsh and Otto spent the early nineties on the periphery of the downtown “club kid” scene. Over the course of one night, Otto and Marsh reconnect to examine the past decisions that led them to their present circumstances. Is it too late for them to find greater things for their future?

~As of March 2024, I am co-moderator of Berkshire Voices, a new play workshop group run by Great Barrington Public Theater. For a theatre company focused on new plays and local talent, this group of supportive writers and collaborators is a flagship program. I’m honored to work with Leigh Curran as my fellow co-moderator. It was flattered to be invited, after only joining the group a year prior.

RECENT PROJECTS

~In Spring 2024, I had the privilege of co-directing Great Barrington Public Theater’s first ever 10-minute Play Festival. I was also one of the first-round readers of scripts submitted by Berkshire Voices members. After GBPT artistic staff chose the final eight scripts, my co-director Joshua Briggs and I got to work casting and building a 1-day rehearsal schedule that maximized our ability to work in two rooms simultaneously. The readings went well, it was great fun to finally share my directing for the general public. The one-night reading filled up so quickly with reservations, GBPT added a second performance, which also filled up.

~Did I mention that my script Dating in the Workplace and Other Acts of Courage was chosen as one of the eight readings? It was great fun watching Joshua direct our entire 6-person cast to close out the evening. I was able to tighten the dialogue a bit from hearing the rehearsal and the audience’s response to the reading. Click the title to read it on the New Play Exchange.

~Since Spring 2023, I’ve been invited to direct closed workshops of 6 different plays as part of Berkshire Voices’ new “Skills Lab” program. Associate Artistic Director Judy Braha introduced this program that goes deeper on a single script that a 10-page excerpt can allow. A director and actors gather to help the author with a particular question or scene. Some are in-person and some have been over Zoom. It’s a low-pressure environment (where Berkshire Voices members can observe in the room) that’s in service of the play. Every single time has been a treat.
