RIDDLE OF THE TRILOBITES
directed by Lee Sunday Evans
CollaborationTown at New Victory Theater
2020
“Riddle of the Trilobites, geared towards a younger audience, manages to be something unusual: a cheerful, peppy musical about extinction.”
— New York Times
“The way these actors adeptly meld their characterizations into the puppets is the nicest seen this side of Avenue Q.”
— New York Stage Review
THE ROLLING STONE
directed by Saheem Ali
Lincoln Center Theater
2019
"A heartfelt portrait of gay love under siege. This latter-day variation on Arthur Miller’s The Crucible is beautifully and persuasively acted."
— New York Times
"One of the more exciting dramas we are likely to see this year. Passionate and undeniably moving, with an extraordinarily talented cast."
— Cititour
TARTUFFE
directed by Saheem Ali
PlayMakers Repertory Company
2018
“Director Saheem Ali’s concept is all lightness and air, full of energy, silliness and slapstick. The result is a funny romp that gets the message across, especially in David Ball’s clever modern adaptation.”
— The News & Observer
“His translation of The Misanthrope may be the best known, but this English-language version of Tartuffe is glorious from the first scene.”
— New York Times
GYPSY
directed by Eric Woodall
North Carolina Theatre
2017
“Often called the quintessential Broadway musical, this funny and moving saga of a stage mother and her two daughters during the vaudeville era gets the full treatment from North Carolina Theatre.”
— The News & Observer
“North Carolina Theatre‘s production sets out to counter that notion with a more down-to-earth approach to the lead character and some intriguing non-traditional casting.”
— Cultural Voice of North Carolina
DISTANT STAR
directed by Shira Milikowsky
Caborca at Abrons Arts Center
2017
“Projected film and still images push beyond the concrete walls; scrawled words and shadow pull you forward; lighting changes pull you inward; offstage mystery catches your ear.”
— Front Row Center
“Hard to follow, tonally inconsistent, digressive, and deliberately primitive in its special effects—all perfectly befitting Bolaño’s slippery yarn.”
— The New Yorker
FRONTIÈRES SANS FRONTIÉRES
directed by Dustin Wills
The Bushwick Starr
2017
“A brightly colored comic fantasia on cultural imperialism. There is much beauty in this abundance, and something deeply unsettling, too.”
— The New York Times
“You might expect a downer. But Howze's exciting piece is actually a savage burlesque, a clear-eyed bouffon treatment of war.”
— Time Out New York
TICK, TICK…BOOM!
directed by Jonathan Silverstein
Keen Company
2016
“Tick, Tick… Boom! is a major musical and serves as a haunting reminder of a significant talent who was lost to us far too soon.”
— The Hollywood Reporter
“Larson’s untimely death shadows the musical with poignancy. Jonathan is even righter than he fears: You never know when life is going to lower the boom.”
— Time Out New York
TOO MUCH SUN
directed by Mark Brokaw
Vineyard Theatre
2014
“And to watch Ms. Lavin in action is to see a veteran actress, whose own interpretive instincts have never been sharper, at the very top of her game.”
— The New York Times
“The play is one of Silver’s slapdash specials — loosely hinged scenes in which adults behave like bratty children, blaming one another for things they’ve done or failed to do with their lives.”
— Variety
ARLINGTON
directed by Carolyn Cantor
Vineyard Theatre
2014
“The gut-wrenching turmoil of life as an army wife takes the form of an hour-long recitative in Arlington, now playing off-Broadway at the Vineyard Theatre.”
— Theatermania
“Though Arlington covers only one day of Sara Jane's life in one location (her living room), there's a vast, fascinating territory to explore.”
— Talkin’ Broadway
