Hello hello!
I joined the Neo-Futurist Ensemble in 2020. It's the best thing I've ever been part of. Every day I get to create strange and honest and beautiful things with the smartest and most thoughtful people I know, as well as serve as a steward of this artistic practice and collective in my current role as the Associate Artistic Director. It is a gift to be part of a company that has brought infinite joy, laughter, and community to so many. It's not something I will ever take for granted.
This year, we are raising money for things like: health insurance for the ensemble and staff! education scholarships for Artists of Color! offering Pay-What-You-Can tickets to every single performance of The Infinite Wrench! maintaining our COVID policy of weekly testing and audience mask requirements to help keep our community safe! quarterly Access Shows with ASL-interpretation in ADA-accessible spaces! producing The Infinite Wrench 49 weeks out of the year! and so much more...
I am also thrilled to be remounting my first full-length Neo-Futurist show in collaboration with the Steppenwolf LookOut Series this November 22nd - December 14th: SWITCHBOARD is a Neo-Futurist puppetry show exploring themes of memory and communication through the lens of the S.S. Eastland disaster. It's about missed calls and missed connections, losing and forgetting. This show truly would not be possible without the support of my artistic family and I am beyond grateful.
This theater has transformed my life in countless ways. We've been going strong for 36 years. Help us make it last forever?
