    If you're looking for a modern macabre production that will fascinate and delight audiences, you've found it. Wonderfully drawn characters with terrific sound and light work in a very creative tale. So well done.

  • Michele Clarke: NO SHOW BABY by Lynda Sturner
    “

    One of the most moving monologues I've ever read. The heartbreak. The longing. The love. And it's a fitting opener to the full-length play - the workshop reading I saw in 2023 was a deeply felt search for identity that pulls ribbons of empathy from its audience.

    Saw this incredible show during its second run at Cape Rep (in 2022). Astonishing work. A laugh-out-loud-funny / grab the tissues evening of theater. Don't miss your chance to produce it.

    The final line will rip your heart out. Because clearly, Amy Tan was wrong.

    A thoroughly enchanting pas de deux for two strong actors. Masterfully choreographed. What an innovative approach to dialogue.

  • Michele Clarke: THE TOUR by Candace Perry
    “

    I had the pleasure of directing this 10-minute gem, which is inspired by actual circumstances in the playwright's family. It's a poignant and very engaging look at the burdens earlier generations leave, and how members of later generations view the past differently -- all told through two incredibly well-drawn sisters. The audience LOVED it.

    A funny, poignant look the hard choices we face in winter. Also: who else is enchanted by this coven? I'm ready to move into their next tiny house!

  • Michele Clarke: THE BOTTOM OF THE SKY by Art Devine
    “

    A moving and triumphant story of several women who had the courage to be themselves against enormous odds. Art Devine grabs us by the heartstrings with Jeanne Marie's early story and then pulls on them for the rest of the play. What a special production this would be.

    Committing to a run for a new full-length work can be risky. This one, though, is a sure thing. Audiences will love the relationship between the mom and her two adult kids -- it's so relatable for so many women! So is the question of what to do next when life throws you a major curve. Kristin Stewart has an actor's ear for dialogue and a true gift for using life's innate humor in storytelling.
