The Irish Wake of Paddy O'Toole (2019 - 2024)
Theater by Judith Sapperstein Maureen McCleary-Donnelly The delightful and mischievous Paddy O’Toole has passed away, and all his friends have gathered to say their last goodbyes. The Funeral Director brings everyone to order and the eulogies begin. Things start rather normally until suddenly, the ghost of Paddy O’Toole appears to participate in his own wake. It seems there is a delay in processing, and he is in a holding pattern before he is able to go to the great beyond, so he thought he might as well see what everyone has to say about him while he’s waiting.

Friends in High Places (2024)
Theater by Judith Sapperstein (Comedy, Romance and Science Fiction) Production Manager & Assistant Director When a UFO lands on the National Mall, President Arnot Thinkinear thinks he’s found a way to fix the economy—by siphoning off the ship’s platinum exhaust for himself. Between an Elvis-impersonating alien, a love-struck General, and two relentless news anchors, the Oval Office is about to get a lot more “universal.” A wacky, fast-paced political satire about friends in very high places. *NOTE: I produced and assistant directed this multimedia production, creating the video content and running every cue, sound, lighting, entrances, and multimedia, live from the booth while directing the cast and stage manager through headset.
