Since 2016, I have been a member of a collective of theatre artists under the direction of TANNIS KOWALCHUK (COURAGE), first under the auspices of NACL (North American Cultural Laboratory), then reorganized as FARM ARTS COLLECTIVE in 2019.  We are a group of multi-disciplinary artists who devise and perform short and full length theatre pieces addressing conservation, equality and the human condition.
SHOWS, FESTIVALS, SHORT PERFORMANCES AND PRODUCTIONS include: TREES (photo, left, by Sue Currier), EL VIENTO, CHARLES DICKENS COME & GONE, Deep Water Literary Festival 2018 & 2019, Festival of Wood, Riverfest, ArtWalk Festivals in the Catskills and International Human Rights Arts Festival, NYC 2019.
