The casts of The Indelible and The Vanguard. From left: Jody Christopherson, Tammy McNeill, Brigitte Barnett, Lillian Rodriguez, Jason C. Brown, and Randy Lee outside the Metropolitan Playhouse.

I directed the six brave actors pictured here on break from rehearsal. They went into the East Village and found six people to interview. They transcribed those interviews and created humorous, haunting, and inspiring monologues, which they perform as their subjects, using the actual words of the people they are portraying. Each of the subjects have incredible stories and I’m very proud of my casts and the creative team for making such enjoyable evenings of performance. You can read more about the project and our process on NYTHEATER NOW. Performances will take place at the Obie Award-winning Metropolitan Playhouse, 220 East 4th Street between Avenues A and B.
