Stevie and the Real World

From March 2023-February 2024, I served as the dramaturg for Iraisa Ann Reilly’s new play Stevie and the Real World, commissioned for the graduating MFA Acting cohort at MSU. This was a process that included both new play development work (through a series of Zoom meetings followed up with a one-week residency and workshop in August 2023) and production dramaturgy (through design meetings and rehearsals leading up to the February 2024 premiere).
