VISTA AT MOUNT WILSON TOLL ROAD
I recently got to do something a bit different for me that was pretty amazing. My good friend (and super talented writer/director/producer) Jimmy Loweree and I co-wrote and co-directed a short play called VISTA AT MOUNT WILSON TOLL ROAD as part of New Guard Theater Company's Company Presents series. New Guard is a young, enthusiastic, incredibly talented theater company in Los Angeles. Company Presents is their monthly series of original one-act plays. Each month, all the plays are centered around a common theme, picked the month previous by audience suggestion, and then written and prepped in a month. This month's theme was "The Day After". We got to put our piece up alongside incredible new work by playwrights AJ Marechal, Alex Mirecki, & Nic Murphy. Our actors, Satya Bhabha & Connor Kelly-Eiding were a dream, talented, intelligent, and enthusiastic. They both gave so much honesty and nuance to the characters--I'm still reeling from the thrill of getting to see them bring to life the words we wrote in front of an audience. If you live in LA, I can't recommend more highly going to the next Company Presents show. New Guard is a vital new voice in the LA theater scene, and I'm humbled to have gotten the chance to work with them.
