Detention Therapy
A One-Act Based on True Events
In October of 1998, Greg Witman was brutally murdered shortly after returning home from school. The controversy surrounding who did it didn't compare to the confusion and grief that was thrust upon the small rural community. Detention Therapy is set in after-school detention, where five students meet for channeling their pain into uncharacteristic actions.

City Lights: A Play With Dance
A unique piece of theatre telling the story of dancers who struggle to find a balance between living their dreams and just living, City Lights:a play with dance incorporates music and choreography as story telling elements.
City Lights: a play with dance was originally produced as a part of Manhattan Repertory Theatre’s Fall New Play Festival, and was slated to open on November 1, 2012. Unfortunately for so many, Hurricane Sandy hit the Northeast on October 29th and the production team was forced to cancel the premier.
Four months later, production was back on track, this time The Red Door Theatre Company acted as the producer. With a bigger budget, new music, extended choreography and an embellished script, City Lights opened at TBG Studios on March 22, 2013.
