My Play Begins August 18th at the Woolly Mammoth.



"Maria/Stuart" stars me and five ladies, and is about to have its world premiere at the Woolly Mammoth Theater in Washington DC.

Woolly Mammoth Theater Company

It is a real nutcase of a play, one I am honored to be in. I play Stuart, an up and coming comic book artist trying to juggle some seriously heavy family secrets and a few German ghosts.

Heavy hitters involved whose names you should know: Acclaimed playwright Jason Grote, New York's superstar director Pam MacKinnon, and a spectacular DC cast that slipped me in at the last minute. Their names are online somewhere, I'm sure.

"Maria/Stuart"
