Some shots from this wonderful show! Middletown opens TOMORROW at Canyon Crest Academy. Now, I know what you might be thinking - “I never go to school productions”. THIS is one you don’t want to miss. As director, I have consistently been surprised and delighted by the professional quality of these performers and this show. Come check out this introspective drama opening tomorrow!!

Middletown - ordinary place, ordinary time but aren’t they all? No they are not.
This fall, I have had the absolute honor to direct Middletown at Canyon Crest Academy! Don’t miss this piece that shoves forward beautiful, crippling normalcy and forced us to examine it in our own lives. Get your tickets at the link in my bio 🏠💕
