Friday, April 12, 2019 at 11:31AM We are deep in the world of GRAPEFRUIT, a Theater Mitu's expeansion project. Tech rehearsals have been the most fascinating process and I feel fortunate to have an inside peek into the creative landscape of Theatre Mitu.

Sunday, March 24, 2019 at 12:37PM This past week I was invited to join the creative team of Mobile Shakespeare's production of The Tempest, directed by Laurie Woolery. It's a stroke of fortune for me, mostly for the chance to be in the room with a meaningful purpose, and to be with wactors and artists whom I admire greatly. On April 4, The Tempest will go on a three-week tour to all five boroughs of NYC. Their final stop will be The Public Theatre's Astor Place home with performances starting April 29th until May 19.

Sunday, February 24, 2019 at 9:16PM I'm getting excited for my next project. A chance to collaborate in a familar way...through performance. I'll share more detailed details as they come, but just know that I'm looking forward to this thrilling adventure that lies ahead.
Sunday, February 17, 2019 at 1:25PM Two weeks ago I was in White River Junction, Vermont participating in a newly blooming black theatre festival. JAG Productions has production JAGFest theatre festival and they are celebrating their third year. It was a thrilling week, being secluded in the winter landscape of rural Vermont, among actors, directors, and writers, giving shape to new pieces of theatre, and giving voice to pieces that have not yet had an audience. I was invited by Kirya Traber (writer) and Sissi Lui (composer/lyricist) to direct their musical-in-development, IF THIS BE SIN. A bio-musical based on legendary performers, Gladys Bentley. I’ve learned so much this week about lesbian identity, same sex relationships, and the questions trans-identifying people often carry within them.
Friday, February 1, 2019 at 12:00PM Today is opening day. I'm excited to finally share our production with audiences. The cast and crew, stagemanagement team, design team, teachers and mentors have been energizing and resourceful. I'm gald to be surrounded by the eager spirit of young artists striving to make their dreams comes true, craving the experience of what only a life in theatre can offer. If only I had a crystal ball! I would love to see what creative paths they will walk on their journey in this artistic industry. It's hard to say goodbye, but first, I'll celebrate the work and dedication they've poured into our produciton of Fabulition: Or, The Re-Education of Undine, by Lynn Nottage.
If you're in the Philadelphia area, make a plan to see the show!
