The Adventures of Pussy Jones
(Full-length stage play)
Production History: Workshop at the Women in Theatre Festival, NYC, 2025
THE ADVENTURES OF PUSSY JONES is a “DaDa cabaret” and Artificial Intelligence* hallucination that utilizes ensemble-based physical theater practices in service of a comedy centered around the theme: “The Politics of Femininity.” When a theatre-creating A.I. is tasked with exploring this theme, it runs amok, resurrecting some of the 20th century’s greatest literary figures (James Baldwin, Truman Capote, Harper Lee) who in turn resurrect famed novelist Edith Wharton (whose childhood nickname was Pussy Jones) to unravel and catechize The Politics of Femininity for the benefit of their 21st-century audience.

Daylighting the Stream
(Full-length immersive experience)
Workshop production with Works_On_Water/UnderwaterNY program in Nolan Park, Governor’s Island, NYC, 2019
Daylighting the Stream is an immersive, hypnagogic exploration of the subconscious mind buoyed by scientific and documentary material. We draw parallels between bodies of water and our bodies made-of-water and the interplay between the conscious, subconscious and dreaming minds.
“Daylighting” is the term for an infrastructure project that re-exposes waterways that have been covered for urban development, such as Seoul's daylighting project: Cheonggyecheon, and the daylighting of the Sawmill River in downtown Yonkers, NY. In Pittsburgh, city of rivers, a daylighting project is planned for the Panther Hollow waterway. We also have a "Fourth River"—an aquifer—water trapped between layers of earth. We're intrigued by water being trapped or hidden, and then being rediscovered, and literally brought to light.
