Class Acts Theater Group (2003 - 2005)
Class Acts was a political theater group devising and performing skits
intended to inform and entertain the general public. The group went on
permanent hiatus in February of 2005, due to membership difficulties. slithers.net/perfrm/classacts
While I was a member, we met for weekly improvisation and rehearsal and performed at various art events and political rallies with our satirical skits. I shared in the responsibilities for running and organizing rehearsals as well as directing, writing acting and performing. I also built a small website for this group.
And So No Sin Performance Troupe (2001 - 2003)
And So No Sin was a post-modern dance performance group which performed
various movement-based pieces throughout the greater Boston area, from
quick vignettes on the street to full-length stage performances. slithers.net/perfrm/andsonosin.html
DAGGER - Dykes with a Cutting Edge (2002)
Dagger was a street theater group associated with the Theater Offensive
primarily for addressing queer women's issues. thetheateroffensive.org/dagger
