Coming up…

I have been engaged to direct Caretakers, a staged, script-in-hand reading of a new play by Rita Pogue and Inez Schmidt.

Following three women who meet in a support group that is anything but helpful, Caretakers is a character-driven comedy reminding us that real support comes from genuine connection, and the determination to keep trying when everything goes wrong.

April 11, 12, and 13, 2026. Part of the Fertile Ground Festival of New Works.
