Beelzepup was a darkly comic play that explored power, manipulation, and the fragile boundaries between loyalty and control. Performed as a tightly staged two-hander, the piece unfolded like a psychological tug-of-war, with moments of levity cutting against rising tension. As director, I focused on the subtle shifts in dominance between characters—using blocking, silence, and proximity to sharpen the atmosphere of gaslighting and unease. The comedy was never far from the surface, but it sat uneasily alongside the play’s darker undercurrents, leaving audiences laughing one moment and questioning their laughter the next.
Borders (by Tom Simmons) was a fast-paced comedy of errors set in a struggling coffee shop where every customer seemed to have the next “big idea” for a small business—and every attempt unraveled in spectacular fashion. As director, I leaned into the rhythm of miscommunication and the physical humor of repeated failure, building a world where optimism constantly collided with reality. The staging emphasized quick turns, sharp timing, and escalating chaos, while keeping the characters’ ambitions grounded enough for audiences to see themselves in the absurdity. The result was a production that invited laughter while slyly nodding to the fragility of entrepreneurial dreams.
