Ms. Information (“Vera DeMarco”)

Ms. Information premiered at NYU Tisch School of the Arts Experimental Theatre Wing in May 2019. “Fake news, fake people, real...ly good lying. Dark comedy in the bright and shiny world of news! If we’re lying to ourselves, does it count when we lie to other people (wink)? “

Le Bourgeois Avant-Garde (“Maia Panzaroff”)

Le Bourgeois Avant-Garde premiered at the Ridiculous Theatre in 1983. A meta-humorous re-interpretation of Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme, Le Bourgeois Avant-Garde brings the New York Downtown art scene to the farcical forefront.

Thirteen Blocks (“Marguerite Gautier”)

Thirteen Blocks, an interpretation of Tennessee Williams’ Camino Real, centers on a surrealist desert hellscape in which the plucky boxer Kilroy encounters some of literature and history’s most bizarre characters, not limited to Esmerelda, Marguerite Gautier, Don Quixote, and Jack Cousteau. One of Williams’ final works, it marks a retreat from naturalism in and a quest for freedom in symbolism.
