Disgraced Olympic swimmer Ryan L*chte is dying of loneliness in his McMansion.

• 20 minute piece at The Brick Theater June 2023 (dir. Katy Early, feat. Suzanne Savoy*)

• Broadway World article here!

Ducky (who is part duck, of course) is trying to resist the seasonal urge to jump off of their apartment building and either fly south for the winter, or go splat on the pavement. Is this the year they finally do it?

Weasel Fest was a two-night extravaganza featuring brand new short works written in response to a shared prompt by Brooklyn College’s 2023 MFA Playwriting cohort. Prompted by our recent alumni playwrights, our festival of five short plays explored the theme of legacy.

MY COUSIN NELU IS NOT GAY

• At The Brick Theater in March 2023 (dir. Lyam Gabel, feat. Natalie Rich)

• ANT Fest, Ars Nova Theatre, June 2022 (dir. Elissa Goetschius, featuring Natalie Rich)

This two-person show features musings on the immigrant experience, an intimate dance with a disco ball, musings on the lesbian experience, two two-hundred-pound dogs, musings on the butch experience, and an epic yet disappointing cousin vs. cousin showdown in the space created at the ~threshold of revelation~. This is an absurdist comedy butting up against a confessional monologue. This is a bilingual play in which English clashes with Romanian and the gays wrestle the straights to take control of the stage. This is what happens when factual family history meets the stories we tell ourselves about how we grew up, or how we wish we had.

SFÂNTA: HELL BENT ON HEAVEN

• Performed at the Minnesota, Philadelphia, Kalamazoo, Orlando, and Oregon Fringe Festivals, 2018 - 2020 (dir. Stephanie LeBolt)

• Winner of the Pamela Daniels ‘59 Fellowship for an Outstanding Thesis, Wellesley College

Teodora just wants to be holy already so she can be revered by pilgrims and perform over-the-top miracles. In the process she discovers that she’s evil, she likes women’s hips, and she has accidentally poisoned the whole convent. One actor, eight characters, and buckets of superiority-complex-disguised-as-piety!
