WHERE THE MOUNTAIN MEETS THE SEA

Andy Stack & Kaia Dedek

Celebrating this dynamic duo. Andy and Kaia made musical earworms that have been playing on repeat in my mind. They loved exploring The Bengsons' music, and they played every note with their hearts and souls. They are the coolest!

CONFEDERATES: Meet the Cast

I enjoyed every day of reahearsal, mostly thanks to the wonderful cast of Confederates. The content of the play required a mix of joy and pain; the love and respect I feel for this cast is largely due to thier willingness to naviate both emotions fully and richly.

Someone Will Remember Us; at Trinity Rep

This week I begin directing a new play titled, Someone Will Remember Us at Trinity Repertory Company. This world premier play by Deborah Salem Smith and Charlie Thurston, Created by Dr. Michelle Cruz, Deborah Salem Smith, and Charlie Thurston. The process of preparing for rehearsals for this play has been an incredibly rewarding journey. The play explores the enduring effects of the Iraq war using real-life testimonies of U.S. military veterans, a Gold Star family, Iraqi civilians, and refugees living in Rhode Island. It’s been a privilege to bring these voices and themes to life with such a talented cast and creative team. This special play allows for a deep connection between performers and audience. It’s a story that lingers, and I hope that you may come and see. When the curtain falls, I believe it will be an experience which stays with you. Links to show dates and tickets below.
