A memory play about generational trauma, 'hurt people / hurt people' takes inspiration from Thomas Hardy's 'Tess of the d'Urbervilles' to tell a modern story about addiction and sexual violence through the eyes of Tess, a young woman seeking economic and emotional stability after her stint at rehab is cut short by the death of her alcoholic father.
Young Men & Recovery
‘Young Men & Recovery’ chronicles the weigh-in of a middle school football team, where players’ weight determines whether they’re eligible to touch the football during games. As the boys make their final preparations to weigh under 185 pounds, new additions to the team force everyone to re-examine their identity, both on and off the field.
The play explores the development of toxic masculinity in boys, how it manifests in relationships, how it dishes out and suppresses trauma, and the uneven path towards healing.
Esmeralda
A full-length verse adaptation of Victor Hugo's 1831 novel, 'Esmeralda' re-centers the story on its teenage Romani protagonist and presents pre-Renaissance Paris through a modern lens.
Written with the stylings of an Elizabethan tragedy, ‘Esmeralda’ explores different corners of Parisian society and how multiple generations of white Christian capitalism creates a societal rot that forces even its most graceful inhabitants to act against their morals.
