Big Wave

Big Wave: Lisa, an antique dealer, helps her friend Nona, a hoarder, to clean her apartment before Code Enforcement comes to take down a wall. In between discussions, memories and an infinite amount of objects, this play reveals depth of loss, friendship and imagination. Photos by Jesse R. Tendler


Talking with Angels

Talking with Angels: In 1943 Hungary, a young woman named Gitta Mallasz defied the horrors of the Holocaust by posing as a Nazi officer, sheltering her friends and scores of Jewish women and children in a Schindler’s List-style sweatshop. As they faced the darkest depths of humanity, one of them began speaking in a voice that was not her own. They recorded her channeled messages in their journals, which were later published by Gitta, the lone survivor, as the book Talking with Angels. Photos by Maria Baranova


Vice & Virtue

Vice & Virtue: are Diambra and Isabella fighting because they love Fabio, or each other? A reimagining of the nearly fatal duel between these 1550s Italian noblewomen. Vice & Virtue's music is a pirate shanty sang by a siren. Created by Eleventh Octave Haus Photos by Rainbowie Media Logo by Zoey Michaels


Kodi Milburn’s inventive sound work for theater encompasses lush compositions and evocative soundscapes that integrate harmony, color, foley, and space, working together to add depth and complexity to a scene and to the arc of a show. Kodi is also a fantastic collaborator: creative, proactive, generous, organized, versatile, and indispensable.

Funny Guy

Funny Guy: a new dark comedy that explores the fragile underpinnings of romance, friendship, and success in two New York City couples. The actors play out a contemporary drama concerning jobs, love, and betrayal, while the dark side of their subconscious motivation is explored by the omniscient id, in the form of a 7-foot-tall neon marionette.

The work of Sound Designer Kodi Lynn Milburn is inspired. Storms, voices, classical music (piano/harpsichord), electronic eeriness, and oh, the scratching quill!
