The Drama League's Beatrice Terry Residency, plus!

I am thrilled to share that I am The Drama League’s 2020 Beatrice Terry Resident! The Beatrice Terry Residency supports womxn-identified artists who both write and direct their own work. I’ll be spending the residency re-developing my project How to Put On a Sock, which takes its audiences on an interactive sex ed tour of the United States.

Look at these fantastic fellow residents and fellows!!!

Look at these fantastic fellow residents and fellows!!!

The Drama League has been a supporter for a few lovely years now, starting with supporting my gerrymandering project Packing and Cracking through a First Stage Residency. I’m overjoyed to continue working with them on How to Put On a Sock through their outstanding Beatrice Terry Residency program.

Speaking of Packing and Cracking: our online presentation of the project last week through the LaGuardia Performing Arts Center was a huge success! It was great to be able to present the show despite our in-person version that had been scheduled for March being canceled. We created an interactive online experience that allowed our audiences to form a community and discuss the important issues around redistricting and gerrymandering. We’ll be presenting Packing and Cracking more in the coming months, either online or in-person, whatever is possible. As we say in Packing and Cracking, stay safe, stay healthy, stay engaged. And also: stay tuned!
