Asking for A Friend by Anaya Green follows Leah, a young Black woman, embarking on the journey of exploring her culture and identity against the lens of her experience with the U.S. adoption system.
While interning with Davis Shakespeare Festival, I produced, directed, and dramaturged a virtual production of Asking for a Friend, an original play by fellow intern Anaya Green. It was a wonderful opportunity to direct virtually and direct a new work, having a constant back-and-forth with the playwright.
