A modern-day adaptation of Romeo & Juliet that examines what would happen if the happy dagger hadn't been sharp enough and Juliet survived. An exploration of love, fame, and violence in the social media era.

(Finalist for the 2022 Theater J Patty Abramson Play Prize) Directly after the funeral of their grandmother, siblings Eliza and David, along with Eliza’s goyishe fiancé, Oliver, return to their mother Linda’s Brooklyn brownstone to begin sitting Shiva. Eliza and David immediately begin battling over who knows how to correctly care for their mother in her time of grief (although if it were up to her, no one would be coddling her ever) But until well into the afternoon, none of them even mention their estranged sibling and daughter, Rachel, who cut off almost all contact with the family after the tragic death of Linda’s husband and the siblings’ father several years prior. When Rachel shows up at her mother’s door, the night takes a turn (albeit comedic, even if it’s darkly so, I mean, you can’t have a play about Jews and not have at least some humor, right?) And the group falls into a conversation about why Rachel left and what makes a Jew “good”? The Play About the Shiva is an examination of death, grief, guilt (again, these are Jews we’re dealing with), pride, and the Jewish desire to rebuild what was once destroyed.

In 1888, a daring female journalist goes undercover and a falsely committed inmate rebels in this riveting original play. Inspired by Nellie Bly and Elizabeth Packard, and featuring a cast and crew of area high school students with award-winning actor Holly Twyford, the most ambitious Signature in the Schools production to date descends deep into the horrors of Blackwell Island, the notorious women’s asylum. 2022/2023 Signature in the Schools commission.

The Coven in the Middle of the Sea centers around Andrea, Bert, Jude, Evelyn, and Ruthie May, on the night of a Getting to Know You mixer for a local witches coven in a small seaside town in the Midwest. Andrea, Bert, and Jude, already long-time members, are praying to the Goddess that tonight will be the night they find The Chosen One and are finally able to cast the spells and make the magic they have been longing to. When Evelyn and her daughter Ruthie May arrive the Coven members begin the process of whether or not their prayers have been answered.
The Coven in The Sea is a love letter to feminine energy and power, about humans longing to belong, to connect, and to feel powerful in a world that has told them that they don't belong.
