Civilians/Princeton Next Forever Finalist (Again)!

I'm once again honored to be a Finalist in The Next Forever, a commission created by The Civilians and Princeton University's High Meadows Environmental Institute to create dramatic works that address the climate crisis.

This time around, my collaborator Dina Vovsi and I applied with an expansion of River Watchers—the play we created last year with Jens Rasmussen on a moving, 14-person Langley canoe in Brooklyn's Newtown Creek. Our idea is to develop new site-specific plays on various waterways throughout the United States. With each script customized to address the water's unique history, struggles, and communities, we're calling the initiative The American Canoe Play Project. We're hoping to have some additional exciting news about it in the near future, so stay tuned!

Big thanks to The Civilians for recognizing our work. They've quickly become one of my favorite companies in town and some of my favorite people to work with. And huge congratulations to this year's commission recipients, Kate Tarker and Kate Douglas, as well as the other Finalists and Semi-Finalists!
