Two weeks. 5,000 sq ft of rehearsal space. A 1,300 seat theater. One show. Only now do I understand how many hours there are in a day. I've learned so much about myself as an artist in such a short amount of time: how my past projects inform my present creations, what I bring to the table in a writer's room, what I'm capable of when it feels like I have no idea what I'm doing, that I love theater more than I love sleep. A thousand HUGE, GIGANTIC thank yous (and also several smaller ones) to @goodsteveningtoyou and @phantomprojects for making everything but flying possible :) ____________________________________ Young Artists Project 2026.

Truly one of the most challenging but rewarding productions I've had the honor of working on. Its not an exaggeration to say that every single day I found a new reason to be astounded by the level of talent and artistry present in our small rehearsal room. Se vrea sînge.

To be or not to . . . wait, sorry, no, that's the wrong play. Friends, romans, countrymen, lend me your ears! What an absolute joy it was to work on this production with this truly incredible cast and crew! Every single one of you is remarkable. I had actually so much fun getting to know Mark Antony this quarter and I'm sorry I made so many jokes about mimes. Let it werk.
