Performance Department
Writer
Performance Department is a satirical horror about a struggling college that is swept into a pageant of virtue signaling around a wildly inappropriate student art project. While the Development Office launches quixotic fundraising ploys to meet Annual Fund goals, professors strategize to discreetly sabotage their “problem student.” As despair sets in over whether or not this bastion of liberal education has any lasting currency in America, the true politics and values of the college emerge in the form of a monster. A cliché of terror rises up, stalking the grounds on Alumni/ae Weekend, threatening to bring a venerable institution of learning to a grisly demise. VEEP meets The Last of Us.

Charting twelve centuries of consent and power, Nosejob looks at the current state of American sexual politics by revisiting heroines from a barbarous past. Audiences are transported back and forth between 9th Century Scotland, where a pack of rapacious Vikings threaten the virtue of a convent of nuns, and present day America, where a college senior named Devon navigates her way through relationships and fantasies that don't always align with her politics. Meanwhile, the administration has caught wind of a terrible new trend on campus called "burying." This gamified sexual harassment meme is going viral, but their efforts to stop it might not render the justice they wanted. Nosejob asks fresh questions about the murkier corners of sexual permission structures and transgressive desires. Then it dares us to ask for more.

Writer
Just outside of Boston, a group of fledgling pick up artists from present day struggle alongside mediocre transcendentalists from the 19th century. We enter a satirical hero’s journey into the psyches of the lost and broken men in our lives. We dig down to the root of American exceptionalism and disentangle the heritage of the “great man syndrome.” Can these American men break the circle of suffering or will they be doomed to perpetuate a loop of self-reliance and self-loathing? What if they’re given a chance to go from the bottom to the top. Atone for everything? If they plumb the depths of their own sincerity, could an authentic apology can save them all? Destroy the bad guys? Save their souls?
