Strange Realms: Tales of Mystery and Horror

Presented by Nighthawks & Theatre Anywhere

In Spring 2022, a collective of writers and actors based in the Philadelphia region decided to produce a virtual festival of short horror & mystery plays by writers from all over the country. From March 26 to April 23, two original short plays were produced every Saturday night at 8pm on Zoom. I was selected to direct two of these performances, Fish Tank by Aly Kantor and The Ship That Stops by Colin Wolfe.
