The Hobbit
The Hobbit | Dramaturg
​
Adapted by Greg Banks, and directed by Marya Sea Kaminski for Pittsburgh Public Theater October 2024. Co-Created by Matt Acheson and Jamie Agnello. This unexpected re-telling of our favorite unexpected journey re-casts Bilbo, Gandalf, and Thorin & Co. as friends around a DnD table. Through the magic of collective imagination (and a few puppets) this well loved story gains all new meaning.​​​​

Written by SaringROCK, Translated by Aya Ogawa, and directed by Padra Crissafuli. 100 Years Stray was produced in February 2020 as a part of Carnegie Mellon School of Drama's undergraduate Senior Capstone Projects. This production was the English language premiere of the show in the United States. A large part of my work as a dramaturg on this show was assisting the actors and creative team in the exploration of non-realism aesthetics and themes. Deliverables included a program note, actor material repository, and hosting a well-received talk back with the audience.
