(Fall 2024)

I had so much fun “drafting in three dimensions” with my cohort of four fellow directors!

Here’s my take on a scene from Tennessee Williams’ The Glass Menagerie:

Actor Frankie Placidi as Laura
Actors Maya Smoot as Amanda and Zachary W. Desmond as Tom

Here’s my version of an excerpt about planes from Gertrude Stein’s Everybody’s Autobiography:

Audience members “boarding the plane”
Actors Jesse B Koehler, Amanda Centeno, Karina Curet, and Roberto Tolentino making a “painting”
“Flying” over the water

During the program, we had to complete several short-term assignments that pushed us to think on our feet and create dynamic scenes using only the actors from the Mercury Store company and the materials available to us around the Mercury Store building. (I really liked incorporating ladders and books into my scenes.) You can check them out above. 🙂
