Rehearsals are underway for This Random World at Theater for the New City, our first production of the 2023/24 season! Director Michael Luggio has assembled a dynamic cast to lead this play, running September 21-23.

We are excited to announce that casting has begun for our first production of the 23/24 season! This Random World, by playwright Steven Dietz, will play at the Theater For the New City this September.

Played September 2023

This Random World asks the serious question of how often we travel parallel paths through the world without noticing. From an ailing woman who plans one final trip, to her daughter planning one great escape and her son falling prey to a prank gone wrong, this funny, intimate, and heartbreaking play explores the lives that may be happening just out of reach of our own.

Played in January 2023.

Ad & Ned is an exploration of the relationship between actor Edwin Booth and critic, turned President Grant biographer, Adam Badeau. Drawn from the private collection of a decades long correspondence, Ad & Ned traces the lives of two men at a time when their intimate truths went unspoken in 19th Century America.

Played in October 2019

I am looking forward to presenting this actor showcase this Friday and Saturday at 7:30p. This showcase, On The Other Side, features 13 talented students from my scene study classes, performing scenes from a variety of contemporary plays including, Stop Kiss, Venus in Fur, Wit, and others.

Played in July 2019

On July 10th, performances will begin for Do I Know You? at the Bridge Theater at Shetler Studios, an actor showcase featuring 8 talented actors from my classes.

Do I Know You? is a collection of stories about who you know and what you don’t; the decisions that make you who you are and make you question yourself.
