The Ever-Expanding Canon

For the third year, one of my artistic homes, Hedgepig Ensemble Theatre, has released their Expand the Canon List to the world. This list includes 9 incredible, classic plays by women that are under or rarely-produced.
This year, I was a member of their Reading Committee, reading and sifting through potential list making plays since January, as well as an actor in the Expand the Canon Festival, working on staged readings of new work inspired by the plays, filmed scenes from this year’s list, and informal readings throughout Brooklyn in partnership with companies such as The Classical Theatre of Harlem, The Sol Project, Ma-Yi Theater Company, and Repertorio Español.

I look forward to this festival every year, and am so proud of the way it continues to grow. xo
