THE PLAY
When a woman meets the man of her dreams, their whirlwind romance promises a future full of happiness and fulfillment. Their lives are painted with the vibrancy of passion, success, and the joys of parenthood. Yet, as their ambitions escalate and subtle fractures begin to emerge, the veneer of their idyllic existence starts to crumble, leading to the unimaginable. A powerful and unflinching exploration of love and the dark truths that lie beneath, Girls & Boys is told with biting humor and raw emotion–a masterclass in storytelling that’s equal parts hilarious and harrowing.
THE ROLE
Stage Manager for a solo, one-actor production. Close collaborator throughout the rehearsal process for a dense, direct-address production dealing with heavy subject matter. Production received four Jeff Award nominations, including Best Production - Play, and earning one win for Best Solo Performance.
