A Tale of Gods, Men, and Very Bad Decisions
A comedic retelling of the Prometheus myth. Two brothers, Forethought and Afterthought, are put in charge of handing out gifts to every creature on Earth, and when the humans come up empty, one of them steals fire from the gods. A chorus builds the world with their bodies and voices, with a cast of 15 and a student crew of 10.

A new play
A new play built from monologues about middle school life. Students worked on their pieces through a full unit of character analysis, improvisation, and rehearsal, then took the stage to perform them for a live audience. The show was also performed at the YOKA Community event and at LAUSD’s Arts Fest 2026 at Ramon Cortines Grand Arts High School.

A new play about bad neighbors
Meet the Bad Wolf family: Big, from The Three Little Pigs; Mid, from Little Red Riding Hood; and their baby sister, Lil. Things don’t go quite the way the fairy tales say in this comedy about family, community, and what it takes to be a good neighbor. Performed in evening shows and during advisory periods for the whole school.
