“Exceptional... Such thoughtful detail, such a strong point of view, so deeply felt. It was beautifully directed. Well done.”

– Professor Jim Peck

My final project for Directing: Process in Production was a staging of any two scenes from Suzan-Lori Parks’ 365 Days/365 Plays. I chose to explore themes of domestic life and the effect of the father-daughter relationship on future romantic partnerships in a combination of February 13: The Butcher’s Daughter and November 14: Father Comes Home from the Wars, Part 1.
