I Wrote a Play On a Canoe!

That's right! During the last two weekends in October, you can venture to the waterfront of Newtown Creek in Greenpoint for River Watchers, a new play on a boat that I co-created with director Dina Vovsi and adventurer/actor Jens Rasmussen. It also features the wonderful Amanda Bruton, with stage management and other roles from Emma Sonricker.

Set in a 29-foot Langley canoe, River Watchers sends 14 audience members on a mission to rehabilitate the creek after more than a century of constant pollution. Keep a lookout for marine life, and be ready to paddle and persevere. 

River Watchers is produced by The Motor Company, with additional support from the Brooklyn Arts Council, North Brooklyn Community Boathouse, and The Puffin Foundation. Our run is currently sold out, but you can reserve a spot on our waitlist.

I'm so grateful to be part of this unique project and can't wait for everyone to see what we've come up with. Check out the evocative and ethereal poster design below from Lauren Matrka. See you on the water!
