world premiere film: THE 51ST STATE

My second film with Arena Stage, THE 51st STATE, premieres on September 16th, 2020. I hope you will watch it! The 51st State, is inspired by the protests and and the drive for the creation of a movement after the murder of George Floyd and the quest for the creation of the 51st state and sovereignty in Washington, D.C.

I cannot believe I haven't posted since 2019... Between the world premiere of THE INFINITE TALES, finishing the Arena Stage fellowship, and navigating a global pandemic... One could say I was busy. Here is a round-up of this wonderful year! august - october 2019 Upon returning to DC in August I began my fellowship as the Allen Lee Hughes Directing Fellow at Arena Stage. My first production there was Right to be Forgotten by Sharyn Rothstein where I got to assist Deputy Artistic Director Seema Sueko. We opened in October and it was a fantastic world premiere. My play, The Infinite Tales was presented as a part of the Page to Stage Festival at The Kennedy Center. Photo by Seema Sueko; Set by P
