How to Put On a Sock at The Drama League on May 9

For the past 2 years, I’ve been redeveloping a project I first made in grad school: How to Put On a Sock. It takes the audience on a cross-country tour of U.S. 9th grade sex ed laws and lessons. Featuring actual, in-use sex ed curricula from the California liberal to the Christian conservative. How to Put On a Sock exposes the highs, lows, and in-betweens of what teens — and us all — are and are not taught about sex today.

On Monday, May 9, at 2pm, I’m sharing a workshop presentation at The Drama League in NY.

I’ve been so lucky to get to work yet again with The Drama League, this time through its Beatrice Terry Residency for writer-directors. I was the 2020-2021 Beatrice Terry Residency, which became the 2020-202? cycle thanks to Covid. It’s meant I’ve gotten even more time to work on the project and I’ve gotten to collaborate with some truly fantastic folks, including Janice Amaya, Yonatan Gebeyehu, Aubyn Heglie, Rachel Sachnoff, Sean Byrum Leo, Jacob Russell, Alex Haddad, and more.

It’s a project that’s very dear to my heart and helped set the course of my career. I’d love to share this new version with you!

You can learn more about the project here. And don’t forget to RSVP!
