Directing 'Laughing, Flexing, Dying' for Flint Rep New Works Festival

Proud to announce my return to the Flint Repertory Theatre to direct Laughing, Flexing, Dying by Shannon TL Kearns for the 2026 New Works Festival.

Ayden, Jayden, and Cayden are away for their annual boys weekend, but

this time something is different. As the weekend unfolds, they grapple

with the loss of their friend to suicide and try to hold their friendships together. This play asks what it means to be a man, how we show up for one another, and the impact that media has on our becoming.

Flint Repertory Theatre’s annual New Works Festival brings thrilling new works by some of the American theatre’s most compelling contemporary playwrights and composers. The week of workshops and development culminates in a three-day event where audience members experience these new works before anyone else and meet the artists working to bring the future of American theatre to life.
