TWELFTH NIGHT
My directorial debut, premiering in 2025 at the Boston Conservatory's Earthstone Theatre Co. I centered this adaptation around feminist and queer themes, changing the text to reflect what I thought a contemporary audience needed to hear. This version was set in the Roaring 20's, a time chosen because of the new era of womanhood and feminism that being born. The audience was made to feel like speakeasy attendees in this interactive production, with a live band playing original jazz music by Scotty Atienza. What began as an independent project, turned into a multidisciplinary production, involving students from across the Boston Conservatory and Berklee College of Music in performance, creative, musical, and production roles.
VIOLA'S NEW FUTURE
In the original text of Twelfth Night, Viola marries Duke Orsino, after five acts of listening to him disparage and belittle women. In this adaptation, Viola rejects his marriage proposal, while still embracing Olivia's offer of sisterhood.

MALVOLIA'S HAPPY ENDING
A gender-bent and queer Malvolia shows the audience the story of a woman being hated and shunned for her feelings for another woman. In the end of this adaptation, a woman in the band stands and asks for Malvolia's love, confessing she's witnessed the abuse Malvolia has faced, and knows she deserves better.
