2016 at a Glance

10/2/2016

 
The Boy at the Edge of Everything
Lincoln Center, Feb-March
​
Assistant Director, Production Stage Manager
Working at Lincoln Center has been such a joy and privilege.  And getting to work there as an AD and PSM was thrilling, especially with this incredible poetic and imaginative show and killer cast.

Civil War Pigeons!
​
The Society for Misfit Puppets, March
​
Director
Our inaugural production I directed for The Society for Misfit Puppets was a huge success.  Completely packed house for our first play reading, exploring in shadow puppetry textured materials and first person point of view walking through three dimensional shadow sets.

The Roar of the Greasepaint,
​the Smell of the Crowd

​Goodspeed Musicals, April-June
Assistant Stage Manager​
One of the biggest opportunities that came across my path this year was the chance to ASM at Goodspeed in Connecticut.  Working with a Broadway cast and creative team was such  an incredible experience while living in the woods of Connecticut.  And thanks to this show, I am now a proud member of AEA.

LARP Me Gently
​Society for Misfit Puppets, June-July
Dixon Place, August-Sept
​
Director

The next show I directed was LARP Me Gently, a puppet folk musical following a crew of LARPers who are set on a mission by a very real gnome to rescue three princesses from dragons.  We were so excited to receive a Jim Henson Grant for the piece and to present a workshopped selection of the piece at Dixon Place Puppet BloK.  This show was a huge step forward for all of us.

We Are All Tourists
​Trusty Sidekick, June-July
Production Stage Manager

Such a joy PSMing this brand new Trusty Sidekick workshop this summer.  Taking kids up on the Highline for a tour of alternate realities was thrilling and I can't wait for this show to come back next year!

Blossom
​
Dixon Place, August-September
Assistant Director

Spencer Lott has written and directed such a beautiful moving show, that I felt blessed to assistant direct with him.  We follow the show through the eyes of James Blossom, a scenic painter with early onset Alzheimer's in this visually stunning and imaginative play.

Midsummer
​
Tiltyard, September-October
Production Stage Manager

I loved PSMing for this smart and sexy adaptation of Midsummer, and working with this new company.  This production incorporates text from every play in Shakespeare's canon to create a playful, contemporary tale for skeptics, romantics, and those of us who still, somehow, believe in magic.
