In Pieces
by Joey Contreras
I independently produced and directed In Pieces in the summer of 2022 with students at Oakland University. It was my first time directing a full-length production, and I had a great cast and production team to help me through this process. We also did a masterclass with Joey Contreras, the writer of the show, and invited him to view our production and have a talkback as well.

We Aren't Kids Anymore
by Drew Gasparini
We Aren't Kids Anymore was my second full-length directed show, and it was my Advanced Directing Project as my capstone at Oakland University. It was a very fast paced process, with only about five weeks of rehearsal before tech, and the show came together beautifully. This show was incredibly meaningful to everyone involved, for cast, production team, and even our live band.
