The Balcony

The Balcony by Jean Genet

The Balcony, directed by Jose Zayas, explores the dynamics of power and identity set against the backdrop of a brothel known for its role-playing fantasies. The play’s commentary on loyalty and revolution, underscores the tension between personal ambition and collective upheaval. Each character’s journey reflects a complex interplay of desire, betrayal, and the search for identity within a society on the brink of change.

Men on Boats

Men on Boats hilariously reimagines John Wesley Powell’s 1869 river expedition, brought to life by female-identifying and non-binary performers. The play flips the script on masculine myths of conquest, using comedy and theatrical invention to reveal the untold truths beneath America’s “heroic” history.

Triptych: An Experience in Three Acts

Act One: Self Help in the Anthropocene by Kristin Idaszak

Act Two: The Stronger by August Strindberg

Act Three: The Jewish Wife by Bertolt Brecht

The three acts are linked together by live song – combined to spotlight three women in a cross section of time and circumstance. Change comes barreling through their front door or sits next to them in a cafe when they least expect it. What happens when you’re forced to leave your home or loved ones? Self-preservation kicks in and bold choices have to be made. These timeless instincts are woven into the fabric that makes us human.

Dancing at Lughnasa

Dancing at Lughnasa by Brian Friel.

A memory play; a son’s recollection of his family in rural Ireland during the summer of 1936 – challenged me completely. I seek these creative challenges. I am so grateful to the playwright for this delicate, mournful valentine. Friel’s play is a beautifully written script – the text is like music, the story is woven together across time, with vivid familial characters.

The Twilight Zone

Act One: The Monsters are Due on Maple Street

by Rod Serling

These 2 teleplays, MONSTERS…(Act 1) and DUST (Act 2) make up one evening, the plays reflect each other thematically and are ensemble works where the movement/blocking is integral to the play and was choreographed. I created and included in each act a ‘ballet’.

Act Two: Dust

by Rod Serling

The second act of the evening of Rod Serling’s The Twilight Zone, DUST, was based on the heinous murder of Emmett Till. The 2nd teleplay/act flows directly from the end of the first act/teleplay. We begin DUST with an event that is alluded to in the teleplay script, but not played out. I wanted to include the event as it connects us to the end of MONSTERS – where there’s a group of panicked people, a mob, linked by the event of a death. We are in town that is far west of Maple St. and 100 years earlier. ‘The Other’ are Mexicans this time, not aliens.

A Chorus Line

A Chorus Line by Marvin Hamlisch, Edward Keban, James Kirkwood, Nicholas Dante, and Michael Bennett

This musical is the quintessential play about trying to make it on Broadway (as a dancer) or trying to make it any place where you want to give it your all. It was an honor, a thrill and a stunning challenge to weave together music, dance and acting in this beautiful work with my young company. It was a joy and an asset to be able to bring my personal experiences as a Broadway performer to the production. And as I often embrace the form of ‘direct address’ in my devised works I was eager to work with the many monologues in the musical.

Dead Man's Cell Phone

Dead Man’s Cell Phone by Sarah Ruhl

It explores the paradoxes of the mundane and the metaphysical and our need for connection beyond technology. The humor continually rising out of human interaction and bizarre occurrences with comic and touching moments and scenes. This production had a remarkable scenic design consisting of 3 large cloud-scape scrims that flew in and out with each scene change, creating time and place. There was music and lighting underscoring the transitions as well, moving us from one place to another, emotionally and literally.
