The Caregiver’s Guide
The Caregiver’s Guide is a poignant comedy about love, family, and the messiness of caring for one another. When a stand-up comedian returns home and reveals he’s inherited the early-onset Alzheimer’s gene from his late mother, his two sisters are forced to face their own fears about the future, their health, and how to care for someone who doesn’t want to be cared for. With humor, heart, and a touch of the supernatural, this play explores how one family leans on laughter, memory, and love to make it through life’s hardest turns. Uplifting, funny, and deeply human, The Caregiver’s Guide promises to move and entertain audiences.

Mercury
Three stories cross outside of Portland, OR in a pitch black comedy with an illicit affair, a couple hanging on by a thread, bears at the window, the worst curiosity shop on the west coast, and an adorable missing dog named Mr Bundles. No one’s happy, people stop being nice, and blood spills. This mash up of myth, missing empathy, and “good neighbors” explores what happens when the mercury rises.

Birds of North America
“Misaye, equally truthful, has more hues to reveal as Caitlyn, who powerfully stands up to her father when he minimizes her grief over a miscarriage in his coldly scientific manner. What’s most moving about her performance is the way she lets us see not only Caitlyn’s bristling frustration but also her determination to move beyond grievance.”
- Charles McNulty, LA Times

Romeo and Juliet
“The show begins and ends with Juliet. Jackie Misaye, a raven haired beauty with sparkling, dark eyes perfectly plays the part. [Misaye] spoke her lines clearly and unhurriedly, as though she was actually thinking and feeling as the character. They lead us to believe in Juliet and Romeo, and to care about them, which is why, after fifty years of focusing on the language, I was more moved than I had ever been by a performance of a Shakespearian play.” - Easy Reader

At the Table
“Director Judith Moreland and her fine actors nail down the laughs and the pathos in Perlman’s passionate play, which has slice-of-life dialogue that sounds as if it were lifted from a late-night bull session.” -Los Angeles Times
Spring 2019 at the Road Theatre
Bliss (or Emily Post is Dead)
“Funny and powerful in equal measure, “Bliss (or Emily Post Is Dead!)” is a terrific spirit-rouser at a time when women everywhere are calling out bad behavior and demanding equality — and, this week, boosting their numbers in the halls of government. Moving Arts energetically brings Jami Brandli’s script to life in a presentation at Atwater Village Theatre.” -Los Angeles Times

Little Women
“Little Women [a multicultural transposition] proves as uniquely fresh an interpretation as any fan could hope for. It may now be peopled entirely by characters of color, but its appeal remains universal. I couldn’t be more thankful for having seen this Thanksgiving treat.” -StageSceneLA
