A(partment 8)

A couple hours before my scheduled one-on-one performance for Annie Lesser’s A(partment 8) I was emailed a waiver.

This was one of the most impactful theatrical experiences I've ever had. I am still trying to deal with the feelings this piece gave voice to. Annie Lesser is a creative genius.
