April 2025
Role: Whitney
Based on ‘The Most Dangerous Game’ by Richard Connell; an original gender-swapped radio-drama adaptation of the 1924 short story. A big-game hunter washes ashore on a mysterious island and winds up in another hunt—but this time as prey!
Presented as part of 'Dangerous Adventures’: three thrilling tales performed on stage in the style of old-time radio, with actors at microphones and live sound effects.
None Escape
Theatre@First
Written by Robin Abrahams
Directed by Elizabeth Ross
March 2025
Role: M’Ling / Survivor 2
Based on ‘The Island of Doctor Moreau’ by H.G. Wells.
Set in a trauma support group in the present day, the story follows Prentiss, telling her story of being shipwrecked on a mysterious island inhabited by Moreau, a scientist conducting disturbing experiments in vivisection, transforming animals into human-like creatures. As Prentiss tells her story, the space and actors around her become the set and props, and the members of the support group — willingly or no — become the characters.
The Rude Mechanicals Showcase
Queer Artists and Players
By William Shakespeare
Directed by Miles Boucher
July 2024
Role: Cassius (Julius Caesar)
A selection of scenes from various plays by Shakespeare—of course, with a queer twist!—tied together by Oberon, Titania, and the fairies from Midsummer, as they run into various scenes happening in their magical woods; if 'Into The Woods' were a queer Shakespearean cabaret.
Our text was taken from Julius Caesar IV.III, the tent scene.
Marian, or: The True Tale of Robin Hood
Theatre@First
Written by Adam Symkowicz
Directed by Paulina Martz
June 2024
Role: Tommy of No Consequence
A slapstick Monty-Python-esque farce exploring themes of gender-expression, the experiences of those of marginalized genders, and how to find out who you are and who you love; all wonderfully juxtaposed within the familiar story of Robin Hood. Rife with sword fights, thumb-wrestling matches, characters in disguise, and endless surprises.
Robin Hood is (and has always been) Maid Marian in disguise, and leads a motley group of Merry Men (few of whom are actually men) against the greedy Prince John. As the poor get poorer and the rich get richer, who will stand for the vulnerable if not Robin? What is the cost of revealing your true self in a time of trouble?

10, 9, Too Late, Blast Off!
Brandeis Theatre Department
Written by Nate Rtishchev
Directed by Kat Lawrence
May 2021
Role: Aleksei Tolstoy
Moscow, 1925. Three of the early Soviet Union’s most prominent writers enter a Zoom call to discuss their new works; what follows is a meta-theatrical journey featuring a humanoid dog, a subway to Mars, and a visit to a very strange zoo. A product of the Zoom-only era, Blast Off uses different online formats to adapt three works from early Soviet science fiction: Aelita by Alexei Tolstoy, Heart of a Dog by Mikhail Bulgakov, and Order No.2 to the Army of the Arts by Vladimir Mayakovsky. Together, these writers explore and debate censorship, artistic integrity versus personal safety, hope for the future, engaging with and making art in turbulent political moments, and the reason we make art in the first place.
Foolish Sanity
Brandeis Theatre Department
Directed by Emily Pollock
May 2021
Roles: The Foolish Authorities
(Lear (King Lear), Estragon, Pozzo (Waiting for Godot), Olivia (Twelfth Night), Silvio (Servant of Two Masters))
The archetype of ‘The Fool’ represents a necessary function of theatre—to tell the truth—though they are only permitted to do so due to being perceived as ‘mad’, ‘simple’, or even simply ‘foolish’. The Fool’s perceived mental illness both allows them the freedom to tell an often blunt and impertinent truth to authority figures, and at the same time prevents them from being taken seriously. Foolish Sanity is a theatrical film piece that combines scenes and monologues from various classical and modern plays into the format of a comedy sketch show, examining the Fool’s relationship to authority, mental illness and disability, and the truth, while exploring how this archetype has evolved over theatrical history.
