“Following Waxwing”

A story about love, loss, and hope. This is one of my proudest achievements from college. It was my second time directing outside of classes and the first time I felt I really got to go through the full process of casting, rehearsal, and working with designers. I directed this in my junior year as part of the Purple Valley Play Festival, a festival of student written, directed, designed, and performed new works. Now, almost three years afterwards, looking at these photos still brings a smile to my face.
