I was given the opportunity to develop a performance for Piccolo Spoleto in 2024, as well as stage a workshop performance prior to the festival. The following is my director’s statement from the festival:

“I am so grateful to have been able to complete this production. While we workshopped the piece, I strove to push our actors and designers past what should happen and have them show us and all of you what can happen, how changing the boundaries of the world we create could serve this production. This time around, we were able to make more fun choices in everything we did because we had the knowledge we were seeking. I have had a blast exploring this piece with this cast–they each have brought their brilliant light to the project and I am proud of all of them!”
