HERO AND LEANDER (2011)

Performer, Ganymede
SummerWorks Festival
August 2011

Though I spend most of my time as a writer and director, I do occasionally perform. I was lucky to meet a number of incredibly important future friends and collaborators while working on Hero and Leander, a hilarious musical that was first produced in the SummerWorks Festival. Telling the ancient Greek myth with a very contemporary edge, the piece was very well-received critically and pleased large audiences. We received an Outstanding Ensemble nod in NOW Magazine’s Festival Wrap-Up.
