Happy closing to a process that was, from start to finish, a beautiful whirlwind.

Dangerous House // up & running
Saheem gives notes from inside the safehouse.
Samira and Alfie find their light… or rather, lighting designer Lap Chi Chu helps them find it in tech.

Dangerous House // WTF
The Boston Globe comes to talk to us … and also manages to document Samira rocking the leather trucker hat of my dreams.

If You’re Looking For Me
I’m either in rehearsal at MCC, in rehearsal at Williamstown, on an Amtrak going between the two, or completely lost in a miasma of confusion, texting various company managers and asking them where I am/ should be.

Williamstown 2018 // DANGEROUS HOUSE
DANGEROUS HOUSE has gone through so many incarnations since its early drafts (and big love to the NNPN and InterAct Theatre who commissioned and produced the earliest of those drafts.) Of the pages that existed then, not many remain – and only two words out of the original title. Some plays are born knowing how to be what they are… and some have to shed their skins again and again until they get there. 
I’m so excited to dig in with Saheem Ali and the Williamstown crew, as this play gets up on its new feet for the first time in years, and takes a walk around…
Williamstown, Comma, Even More Serious
Open!
2 weeks of rehearsal, 2.5 days of tech, and we are open. I don’t know how Williamstown makes it work every summer, but somehow they do, and to me this miracle is right up there with loaves & fishes / water into wine. (Speaking of wine… it is also a miracle that there is any left in the Berkshire area.)
