Director and Co-Organizer ​
​​
A community-oriented devising project, culminating in an hour-length, social-justice oriented Purim spiel for members of the Boston Workers Circle and broader young adult Jewish community. As director and co-organizer, I lead the written devising process, facilitate discussion around thematic points of connection (ex: union organizing, digital activism) offer dramaturgical/structural feedback, collaborate with designers, contribute marketing content, and stage the final performance.
5785 blurb: Androids, Gentlebots, and Humans: the Shtetl Metal Rebels hereby invite you to a queer, futuristic Purim spiel, complete with political intrigue, punk rock, and revolutionary imaginings. Transport yourself to Shushan Corp, where you’ll meet productivity-obsessed CEO Ash Veros, his new hot (and secret bot!!!) babe, Xster-3959876, badass droid ally Vashti, and mad scientist android Uncle Chai. Will these unconventional heroes be able to overcome the devious plotting of Haman, Shushan Corp’s new Artificial Intelligence creation, on behalf of oppressed androids everywhere? Find out on March 8th! The Purim of the future awaits!

about me
I'm a writer, reader, and theater-dabbler; a feminist, queer, utopian-driven weirdo. As an essayist and theater critic, my work has been published in Severance Magazine, Howlround Theatre Commons, OnStage Blog, and The Journal for Dramatic Theory and Criticism. As an educator and dramaturg, I've taught courses on play analysis, musical theater, Shakespeare, and multicultural theater history. I currently live in Cambridge, Massachusetts, where I spend much of my time kickboxing, singing, thrifting, and writing about writing.
