    A deep dive into history that is untold. Dellagiarino Feriend provides us with a glimpse of people overshadowed by the founding father (Jefferson) and we are better for it. A deep dive into our country's roots that does not shy away from the bigger issues of slavery, female autonomy, and what freedom really looks like. Gorgeous piece!

    This show is all magic. I had the joy of reading this for 46th BAPF and I'm so glad it was a finalist! It made me think of all the amazing ways we can tell stories on stage. Heartbreaking and real but also incredibly fun. Plus roller skates for the win!

  • The Wendy House
    14 Sep. 2021
    I had the privilege of seeing the world premiere of The Wendy House at the Lab Theater Project in Tampa. This dark play with the familiar backdrop of Peter Pan will leave you guessing and invested in characters that are so incredibly real even when they're just in your imagination. I was deeply moved as I'm sure you will be.
