100 Heartbreaks

groundswell | Winter 2015
"Director Jess Hutchinson makes great use of the site-specific staging, and the action is fluid whether it’s the band playing and teasing one another on stage or Charlane and the play’s bartender (Sean Moran) chatting it up over a whiskey offstage."
Jeanne Claire van Ryzin | Austin American Statesman
About This Production
With my groundswell co-artistic director Joanna Garner, I staged a workshop production of her honky-tonk play with music in the Sahara, an old-school Austin music venue. This was my first opportunity to collaborate on a play with music, and I was fortunate to work Peter Stopchinski, a genius musical director and Austin treasure as well as an excellent cast of musicians.
