Three Sisters

October 2025, LIU Post

Anton Chekhov’s Three Sisters is a poignant exploration of longing, disillusionment, and the quiet desperation of provincial life. In this vivid translation by Paul Schmidt, the Prozorov sisters dream of returning to the excitement of Moscow as they confront the passing of time, unfulfilled desires, and the complexities of love and family. Three Sisters is a timeless classic that captures the beauty and sorrow of ordinary lives.

RIGGED (workshop)

Following an oil rig explosion, five local activists sneak onto the derelict oil rig in search of a way to keep the rig from being reopened in the future. Once there, they find themselves caught in a mind-bending nightmare, tormented by strange creatures and a powerful entity lurking out of sight.

Utilizing puppets and props built of trash, recyclables, and found materials often polluting oceans and beaches, this eco-horror piece equates the struggle of making effectual change in the climate crisis against the omnipresent powers of the companies responsible to the hopelessness of characters caught in a slasher film.

Egg Quest

By Kenjiro Lee

July 2024, Serials @ The Tank

If there’s one thing Greg Benedict is obsessed with, it’s consuming breakfast burritos, so much so that he’s dragged his friend Muffy Letta across New York City to find the perfect one. But just when he has seemingly achieved this goal, his and Muffy’s lives are completely upended when they and the burrito are abducted by a group of alien museum curators from Alpha Centauri. A chaotic comedy full of intergalactic antics, puppets, and an onstage omniscient Rod Serling-type narrator whom everyone is fully aware of (and actively annoyed with).

Featuring Jen Jarnigan, Emani Brielle Simpson, William Vonada, Hunter Levi Rothenstein, Natalia Mar Urzua
