ASSITANT DIRECTING
PARENTAL ADVISORY: A BREAKBEAT PLAY by Idris Goodwin
Directed by Kyle Haden
World Premiere Production
Milwaukee Rep
Two Hip-Hop artists mix slick beats and rhymes with important questions about parenthood and expression in popular music. This new play – half DJ jam session, half TED Talk – uses live music, humor and a bit of modern pop culture history to explore what it’s like being a father and the important choices we make for our families. Through an innovative style of storytelling, this play asks: at what age is it appropriate to introduce our children to the uncertainties of life – however controversial they may be?

INDECENT by Paula Vogel
Directed by Sheila Daniels
Seattle Rep
Indecent tells the story of a Jewish troupe of actors in the early 20th century who journey across Europe and America performing God of Vengeance, a celebrated, provocative play by the virtuosic writer Sholem Asch. Filled with laughter, stirring music, vaudevillian dance, and tender heartbreak, Indecent is the play we all need to see today.

TRUE WEST by Sam Shepard
Directed by Braden Abraham
Seattle Rep
Two brothers from different walks of life – one a successful screenwriter, the other a restless drifter – clash while housesitting for their mother in a sweltering Los Angeles suburb. This outlandishly funny and unsettling Pulitzer Prize-nominated comedy by acclaimed late playwright Sam Shepard gleefully detonates our misguided myths of family, identity, and the American Dream.
