Black Box PAC shows and straight
from Backstage. As I’ve said since
I started in this business, casting
is truly 75% of a show (maybe
80%?)- and when you get it right,
its obvious and a relief. Thankfully
we got this one right.
In addition to being the artistic
director of Black Box Studios and
a playwright/composer, you’d a
busy director as well. Do you find
that directing plays takes away
from your writing time or inspires
you to write?
Both, but directing great work is
always inspiring. Black Box PAC
is positioning itself a destination
theater just outside of Manhattan,
and we have been lucky to get the
chance to produce new versions
of some modern classics (Shepard,
Albee, Churchill, Bogosian, etc.)
and some amazing newer plays,
“just out” of NY (Hand To God,
Disgraced, Bad Jews, and the up-
coming Significant Other, How
To Transcend A Happy Marriage,
and Sweat). Every day we rehearse
something like Buried Child or The
