I am producing FullStop Collective's FOREPLAYS 2011! This is our second annual Valentine's Day inspired event after rave reviews last year including:

"The strength of [FullStop's] cooperative rests in a sense of shared adventure and risk. The more they continue to challenge each other, and to raise their realization to the level of their ambition, the more FullStop will distinguish itself as a collective not only worth watching, but dating long term." - City of Glass Arts and Culture 

Join us at the sumptuous Galapagos Art Space for two seductive nights of bold theater, short films, and live music based on the prompt "foreplay." Featuring four new plays of lust and love:

The Foreplay Play by Mariah MacCarthy, directed by Leta Tremblay
The Push to Mate by Patrick Shaw, directed by Megan Weaver
Rank Jumping by Brent Lengel, directed by Brian Hashimoto
Sausage Fest written and directed by Alexandra Bassett

Thursday, February 24 and Friday, February 25 at 8pm
Galapagos Art Space
16 Main Street, Brooklyn

I am directing and producing the 3rd Annual Leah Ryan Benefit Production for LIM College this fall!

This Benefit is produced in honor of Professor Leah Ryan of the Arts & Communications Department who died of leukemia in July 2008. As well as being an inspiring teacher to her students, she was also a talented playwright whose plays are produced around the country. The proceeds from this production will support a scholarship in Professor Ryan's name for a student developing in writing fundamentals at LIM College. For more about Leah Ryan please visit her website HERE.

This one evening performance features five 10 minute plays including one unpublished script by Leah Ryan herself and four world premiers by Diana Oh and Lucy Gillespie commissioned specifically for this production:

CALLING LUIS by Leah Ryan
BENCH by Diana Oh
LOOKING FOR MOM by Lucy Gillespie
DRESS by Diana Oh
MATERIAL GIRLS by Lucy Gillespie
