Teen Way Off Broadway

For roughly a decade, I was on staff for Teen Way Off Broadway. We put on a one-act musical with about twenty-five high schoolers comprising the cast and crew. We do auditions Monday morning and perform for one thousand people Friday evening.

As a facilitating adult, I have stage managed, choreographed, and since 2018, co-directed and co-written along with Lindsay Bennett-Jacobs.

This all happens as part of SUUSI, an all ages summer camp.

Back to the FUUture (2023)

To close out our tenure on TWOB staff, Lindsay and I had fun with time travel jokes while honoring the work of SUUSI Historian Bill Gupton, author of Remember the Feeling.

IntUU the Woods (2022)

Our first year back in person was a challenge, with a very small cast and crew, most of whom had never worked with us in person. But the show must go on, and our small but mighty cast put on a lovely tribute to the late Stephen Sondheim, featuring music from several of his shows.

TWOB: An American Musical (2021)

We finally took on Hamilton.

SUUM: the 2020 Story

We scrapped our existing script outline after in-person SUUSI was canceled, and scrambled to write a script that would resonate with the moment and could be produced as a prerecorded video.
