For the Joan Yellen Horvitz Directing Fellowship at Cleveland Public Theatre, I am currently directing a stage adaptation of Helen Oyeyemi's short story "sorry doesn't sweeten her tea" from the anthology "What is Not Yours is Not Yours" (courtesy of the Wylie Agency). Members of a biological and chosen family (including a teen girl with a peacock's tail and an ex-shaman-turned-popstar) attempt to recover from different forms of disillusionment with methods ranging from public apologies & rehab... to the pet-sitting of a Siamese fighting fish in a house of locks where doors can only be closed with a key.

I am also continuing with Maelstrom Collaborative Arts' Partnership with Orchard STEM School in Ohio City. The after school STEAM club explores the intersections of arts and sciences with 4th-6th grade girls who have an interest in learning about our physical world on Earth, as well as imaginative worlds of their own creation. The club is made possible by individual donors and the Martha Holden Jennings Foundation. |
