Driftwood
I directed a workshop of Driftwood for Opera America IDEA Grant recipient Gregory Jafari VanAcker, at the National Opera Center. Despite what the previous sentence implies, Driftwood is not an opera, but instead a big, giddy, Mesopotamian comedy about the original flood myth (sense a theme in my pieces?) and how stories get told and re-told. I also love any opportunity to direct for the Playwright’s Horizons SWANA Co-op.
