Artistic Director Elizabeth Dinkova got a chance to reminisce about Spooky’s Social Impact residency at the Kennedy Center, through which we got to further develop the new play “Cracking Zeus” by Christopher T. Hampton alongside director Reg Douglas. Enormous thanks to Rachel Ward and Madeline Oberle, the dedicated staff of the residency, for gifting our company with space, time, and support to make epic new work. And who knows, this may not be the last time Zeus’s lightning strikes our stages… #kencensocialimpact #kenceblocaltheatre #kencenreach #spookyactiondc #newplaydevelopment

My #soundscope for @spookyactiondc FRONTIERES SANS FRONTIERES This script by Phillip Howze was amazing, and I loved the creative, joyful energy the entire team brought to this show. What a blast it was to collaborate with the cast and production. Plus I had a chance to really play with the weirdness of the score and sound design! Happy closing weekend~! #sound #design #sounddesign #theatre #dctheatre #music #composer #vocals #acreativedc
