I dramaturged and directed the original production at the Coronet Studio Theatre in Los Angeles.The Verses of Ogden Nash written by and starring Peter Massey. In August 2002, to celebrate the centennial of Nash's birth, Versus was produced by Actor's Conservatory Ensemble at the S. Mark Taper Foundation Amphitheatre in Coldwater Canyon Park (rave review from Tom Hatten, KNX Radio) and then served as the keynote presentation before 1200 members of the Famous Poets Society at the DisneyWorld Hyatt Hotel in Orlando, FL. played in Florida for a conference on writers.

I co-directed the world premiere of “ Beds” at the Stella Adler Theatre. Created by renowned playwright-scholar-dramaturg Leon Katz, three of the last century's most celebrated and obsessed lovers reveal their most private and intimate thoughts, spoken from the sheltered comfort of their individual Beds. Alice B. Toklas, Oscar Wilde, and Oscar Kokoschka ruminate about love, sexuality and death, expressing the most secret thoughts from the darkest recesses of the minds of three of the most celebrated, most ambivalent, most obsessed lovers of the past century.

“The Other Door” an original one-act play I directed went onto the American College Theatre Festival Regional Finals in Las Vegas!
I directed an adaptation of “Spoon River Anthology” at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts for the second year student’s exam plays.
I was Lynn Manning’s Guest Artist at the Mark Taper Forum’s Other Voices workshop. I shared scenes from my solo play “Nurse June” about my disabled mother. I subsequently became a dramaturg for some of the plays that were work shopped.
