play written by David, Sisters of the
Eternal Knot, will be workshopped as
part of the
The Artful
Conspirators'
Open Rehearsal Series in June. The
public portion of the ORS will be on

studios of ART/NY Midtown. |
|
DIRECTING:
Alice Unraveled, a new rock musical
by the talented composer
Kelly Izzo, will be performed in a staged
reading in July as part of the
New York
Musical Festival. Using
characters from Lewis Carroll’s classic novel
in an contemporary adolescent world, Alice
is a teenage girl struggling with
the post-traumatic stress of a sexual
assault. Alice is pulled
“down the rabbit hole” and into a
nightmarish world in
which she cannot separate reality from
memory, memory from a dream. Will she
ever regain her voice?
Performances: Tuesday, July 9 at 3pm and
7pm; Saturday, July 13 at 4:30pm at the
Studio Theatre on
Theatre Row. |

DIRECTING: David
directed the staged reading of On The
Ceiling by Nigel Planer for
Amphibian Stage Productions in January
2013. Lapo and
Loti, two plasterers, begin work (on
history's most famous ceiling) for
their absentee boss Michelangelo...and
then comedy ensues. It's a fresco fiasco. |

WRITING:
UglyRhino
Productions commissioned David to
write a 10-minute play (Truth, Dare, Kiss, Kill or Marry)
for their January installment of TinyRhino,
"the theatrical
drinking game." David was given five
dramatic elements to incorporate into his
play; when those occurred during the
performance, the audience had to drink. |
