I wrote Maia e fa Sito inspired by stories from the small Italian town where my family is from.

Synopsis: It’s dinner time in a small Northern Italian mountainous town. A traditional-minded family. A fraught mother-daughter relationship boils to explosion: temperatures are at an extreme high at the dinner table. When a buon apettito is followed by a magna e fa sito which translates to eat and shut up in the Italian dialect Bergamasco. Insanity is on the menu. The hope is that this short play will wet your appetite for a taste of the absurd.

A lot goes down during the “thank you 10” or the “thank you 5.” Break room is where actors can release, reflect, and debrief. What is happening underneath; the process of the actor is what I’m interested in. Clay: An Actors Confessional follows three actors studying at a drama conservatory trying to understand how to be in this world as an actor: how to thrive from it; survive from it.

Note: The hope is that the play will explore both the moments of intellectual examination of the craft and the building moments of true joy and struggle as a rising theater artist. ​

Present day. A college campus. It’s dusk, the fireflies are out and so are the mosquitos. It’s itchy. It’s hot. It’s humid and stuffy. The eve of graduation. A mad scientist has created two paths post-grad for the same girl Olive/Olivia.
They are half real, and half created. The girls meet these two versions of themselves for the first time. A regimented reality. ​
