Even as theater came to a screeching halt in March 2020 as the pandemic hit, many found ways to keep creating and thriving. As Associate Artistic Director of Milwaukee Rep, I produced and curated new play commissions and classical monologues beginning April 2020 to Feb 2021. Here are some of the fruits of my labor.
