"Villanueva has woven a story as complex as the issues it tackles. It is a story that challenges our ideas of masculinity and femininity, parental expectations, birth order, the wounded softness of family home life against the harsh comfort of war. The playwright takes her audience on a broad scoping journey of global proportions and then gathers up all those far reaching threads to focus on the story of her characters' most personal desires. This is a play for our time – the time of America's constant love affair with war."

Just starting to sink our comedic teeth into 20 WORDS OF WISDOM by Danny Rovin, produced by Nu Sass Productions as a part of the first ever Nu Drafts-- a new play festival on H St.

I'm keeping busy producing Nu Drafts, a new play bar crawl on H St. NE. 
6 plays, 3 bars, 16 actors-- one epic night of new theatre!

Had a beautiful experience working on this world premiere adaptation of David Grossman's riveting novel, FALLING OUT OF TIME-- and incredible team of artists, collaborating on a deeply moving meditation on grief.

My first crack at directing a high school production-- THE WIZ at Barrie Prep School! Had a blast bringing this whimsical story to life with these incredibly talented high school students.
