UPDATE: Planning in the works for a roving production of Grounded. Stay tuned!
I felt all the feels, surrounded by a beautiful artistic community, serving as a director for Parker Reed's touching 10-minute play "Can I Take Your Order?", as part of the Writers Playground at Sharon Playhouse. It filled my cup for the moment and I miss it already!
Making it less weird, I served as a Intimacy Consultant and Choreographer with Sherman Players in August and September. Honored to help all theatre artists create safe spaces of consent, my philosophy is to not only help the actors, but the director and the rest of the company to find joy in this aspect of story-telling.
I truly loved my return to acting in The Prom at Sharon Playhouse! I played Mrs. Green alongside incredible artists and directed by the wonderful Carl Andress, Artistic Director of Sharon Playhouse.
A part of this year's Exchange was the goalpost showing of Grounded by George Brant, a solo play starring Kimiye Corwin with live music and composition by violinist Jane Chung. Kimiye proposed working on this play during the 2023 Exchange, and I was honored to be asked by her to direct, living with this gorgeous and stunning piece of theatre as a year-long work in progress. The play-in-progress was performed twice during the summer of 2024, and more performances are in the planning stages.
Connecticut Theatre Exchange 2024 was our most robust two-week residency to date. Thank you so much to all of the supporters and artists that made the Exchange a beautiful experience!
Tracy is fulltime faculty at the University of Rhode Island Department of Theatre.
