Team work makes the dream work! 🔥 One week down, and we love our co-directors @Denise Gillman and @dririsgoode
Together they are tackling this epic play with staging in the round, and we can't wait to see the magic unfold! We couldn't ask for a better team of co-directors to bring this co-written play to life.

And we’re off! It’s only been two days of workshopping this show with @_hamptonu and @christophernewportu but we’ve already got three scenes done! It is a privilege to get to work with these students and our two incredible directors, @dririsgoode and Denise Gillman!
We are thrilled to announce that Christopher Newport University and Hampton University are partnering to produce the world premiere of Now to Ashes!
The collaboration will cast students from both universities, alongside local artists, with a workshop occurring in Spring 2026 and the full production premiering in Spring 2027. The play will be co-directed by CNU’s Denise Gillman and HU’s Dr. Iris Goode-Middleton.Â
Stay tuned for more details coming soon!
