CURRENT PROJECTS: AS ONE & JULIUS CAESAR
I'm dipping my toes into opera for the first time and stage managing (& de-facto cultural consulting) for As One at Opera Memphis. It's a two-person opera about a young trans woman.
After As One wraps I'm diving right in at Tennessee Shakespeare Company as the stage manager for Julius Caesar. Timely, wouldn't you say?
NEW PLAY ALERT: TWO LADIES OF VERMONT
NEW SHORT PLAY: MOXI & SIRNA
NEW PLAY ALERT: DOCTOR VOYNICH AND HER CHILDREN
