The Collective Conscious became Human and dwelled among us around the sacredness of the table.” David’s retelling/reimagining of John…
“Disruption” a new play by Andrew Stein which had a short run in London in 2023 is making its New York premiere at the Pershing Square Signature Center, presented by Jack DePalma.
