In the fall of 2011 I got my first stage play in NYC, in Misha Shulman's "Deathscape" at Theater For The New City. This was cool, this was avant-garde. Misha was an artist I admired and respected (and he had trained at the Crow's Theatre, so there was that Toronto-connection!). I loved going to the east village for rehearsals and finding new treats and artwork. It was such a beautiful corner of the city in 2011, and so full of life and vitality. We did this show for three weeks and were reviewed in NY Mag, Playbill.com, and Broadwayworld.com. During this project I met some cool puppeteers and performers, and ultimately my next collaborator.
