I'll be playing the literal devil (character name: Scratch) in Jen Silverman's WITCH August 11-14 at the Booth Playhouse at the Blumenthal Performing Arts Center. This is the first ever production from Charlotte Conservatory Theatre. An amazing cast and crew on this one, with guest director Rob Lutfy at the helm!

After a year-plus delay due to COVID-19, The Refugees finally premiered at Davidson College from August 19-22, 2021. For this particular production, many original students and professional designers returned to finish their work, and we also involved new professional actors from Adjusted Realists. We look forward to whatever comes next for this play!

I'm co-directing and devising a massive ensemble experiment in COVID-era theater at Davidson College this July 2020. Here's the blurb:

In the age of COVID-19, the theater must ask: how can we gather as an audience but still keep each other safe? Exit 30: A Pandemic Theater Detour gives you a sprawling, immersive answer to that impossible question. Join a talented ensemble of Charlotte theater artists as they take over the evocative Davidson College campus with an intricate medley of pandemic performances, which weave together the joy, rage, humor, and justice that have defined the tumultuous summer of 2020. The best part? The entire show is conceived as a drive-thru, with occasional stops to get outside and watch a scene. Bring your car and your quarantine buddies, and journey from station to station, never coming closer than 20 feet to an actor or fellow audience member.

The Refugees will premiere in a full production at Davidson College March 27-April 5. Buy tickets here now, and download a sneak peek below!

My newest play The Refugees will receive two readings in the Charlotte area in advance of its full production at Davidson College in March-April of 2020. Actors from Adjusted Realists will be working with Davidson students in this sneak peek presentation! Contact me to reserve a spot.

AUGUST 21 at 7pm: Free Range Brewing in NoDa, Charlotte
AUGUST 24 at 2pm: Davidson College Barber Theatre

"In an imaginary city-state loosely based on ancient Greek myths, generational conflict erupts around how to handle the mass of desperate, uprooted migrants outside the city walls. Inspired by the current refugee crisis in southern Europe, and partially developed through on-the-ground faculty-student research, this new play takes dead aim at climate change, xenophobia, and what it costs us to compromise our ideals."

I will be directing the New York premiere of Eliza Bent's The Beyoncé at A.R.T./New York Theatres July-August 2018. For more info on the show, visit our Adjusted Realists show page. Looking forward to seeing you there!

Beginning in February 2017, I'll be joining the Broadway production of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory as Resident Director. I'm thrilled to be working with director Jack O'Brien and an enormously talented cast (including Christian Borle as Willy Wonka) on this adaptation of one of my childhood favorites. Performances begin March 28!
