Breakdancing Shakespeare
In July, I got to work with the cast of Breakdancing Shakespeare at Hartford Stage. This year marked the 20th anniversary of the program, and they did a production of ROMEO & JULIET, adapted and directed by Nina Pinchin. I worked with the cast on vocal production for the thrust theater and on text work. I love this program and am grateful to have been involved for a couple of years. Performances ran at Harford Stage July 24-26, 2026.
The Day the Riots Began
In June, I got to work on a Public Theater workshop presentation of Sanjit De Silva’s autobiographical one-person play THE DAY THE RIOTS BEGAN, directed by Mei Ann Teo and with dramaturgy by Amrita Ramanan.
