And a pretty good tap dancer.
In late June of 2024, I traveled to Manhattan to begin rehearsals for an incredible project that David Goldsmith, Wendy Perelman, and I have been revisiting and revamping for over a decade.
Now, thanks to Virtual Stage Lab in association with Collective Catalyst, LLC, this stage film-capture brings FIVE WOMEN AT AN AIRPORT to life.
A sudden blackout leaves five women—all strangers—marooned at JFK International Airport, where circumstances compel them to drop their literal and figurative masks, flying us back in recent history to a time-capsule moment when the women have no idea what their future holds… but we do.
Below you'll find our fab trailer.
