Actor. Singer. Dancer. Dramaturg. Adapter

Featured Project:
Romeo and Juliet: Lottery Style
Written by: William Shakespeare ,
Adapted by: Katherine Warmka
About the adaptation:
“Shakespeare’s plays don’t demand that you find the “prettiest” lady to play Juliet. They demand that you listen hard when Romeo tells you that Juliet is the sun.”
- My Life with the Shakespeare Cult
Each unique individual is given the opportunity to explore, discover, and fully experience what love and hate means to them.
The ensemble will work together to create the characters and world of the play based on the unique abilities and personalities of each person in the room. It is about the process: what does it mean to get in a room with other people and create something? When performed, the audience should see the strings; it's about people coming together to tell a story. It’s just a play; the work is never finished.
