The Great Divide is up and running at the Finborough in London, and I was lucky enough to be there for tech week and opening. I am a bit biased, but I really think this is a beautiful production, expertly directed by Rory McGregor and gorgeously acted by a phenomenal cast.

 

I am so proud of this show, and the amazing work this dedicated group of artists have put in to creating this important world. If you happen to be in London, please check it out! Otherwise, I hope to be brining it to a theater near you someday soon!

JONNO this summer at the Winnipeg Fringe

Super excited that Echo Theatre is producing my play JONNO this summer at the Winnipeg Fringe. From the Echo Theatre website:

“Which part made you think I like it?”- Dana

Echo Theatre is proud to present an angry new comedy about a famous radio personality.

And the women he assaults.

And Mr. Donkey Long-Ears: his only friend.

Inspired by TRUE EVENTS.

More info to come soon!

I am very excited for my first full-length production at Columbia University!

It will be a short run, so mark your calendars now if you would like to see it. More details on times and tickets to follow.
