A Bullet's Conscience, 2016

Speed, Two Gentlemen of Verona

Featured Artist in a Drama, 2016

In summer 2016, I participated in HartBeat Ensemble's Youth Play Institute, a five-week paid internship in acting and playwriting. At the end of session, we presented an original one-act play using the broad theme of gun control and the 2nd Amendment. Using HartBeat's method of first-hand interviews and investigative theater tactics, we interviewed over a dozen people, including Senator Chris Murphy (CT).  A Bullet's Conscience was presented at the Carriage House Theater in Hartford. It was the first time I sang on stage, a piece I wrote in collaboration with my fellow actor Laugh (pictured above). Some of our advance press included coverage in the Middletown Press and WNPR.
