For Good: Measure, Director
A development and zoom performance of an original
7-minute monologue by Amanda Faye Lacson.
"...truly remarkable. This commentary about how we treat the world around us used examples of goat habits, and the slow digression of a glacier sneaks up on our psyche to leave us with a feeling of emptiness. It's difficult to offer cheers on a piece with such a message, more like knowing nods, but one can say it was truly well-written and so naturally acted as to seem like a free style stream of consciousness (down to recognizing the sounds of the city outside her window). Her location was ironic as all we see are her and a bookcase – again adding to the learning experience." - Outer Stage

The Cherry Orchard, Assistant Director
Chekhov’s elegy chronicles Madame Ranevskaya’s futile attempt to save her ancestral estate and its beloved cherry orchard.

In a courtroom somewhere between Heaven and Hell, two attorneys and a parade of famous witnesses, argue over the fate of Judas Iscariot, known for his betrayal of Jesus.
"...a greater gift is her intuitive knowledge of the human psyche. In The Last Days of Judas Iscariot, Laura Sisskin Fernández displays the ability to observe the natural world and mimic it in a believable and engaging way."
