Lila Neugebauer - Does she sleep?

Okay, it's been a long time since I've seen a director with so many projects lined up for one season. Look at this!

October 7 - After the Blast at LCT3

November 1 - The Wolves at the Mitzi E. Newhouse

January 11 - Miles for Mary at Playwrights Horizons

January 30 - At Home at the Zoo at the Signature Theatre

Spring - Peace for Mary Frances at The New Group

June - Mary Page Marlowe at Second Stage Theatre

 

I mean, am I crazy or is this an insane amount of work? Granted, two shows are re-stagings, but that still requires a tremendous amount of work. Of course, it couldn't happen to a more talented director, but damn girl!

Sign me up for all!

Which production, other than The Wolves is a re-staging?

Miles for Mary is also a restaging.

This is a lot, but it's not a particularly crazy schedule.

Lileana Blain-Cruz has had very similar schedules and got 5 Critics Picks in one season.

Mostly amused she has three Marys in one season.

M.O.A.I. said: "Mostly amused she has three Marys in one season."

I agree that's a pretty crazy coincidence. 2 would be amusing but 3 is actually very surprising!

Maybe it's because I spend a lot of time in the regional theater world, where it's common for actors, directors, designers etc to pull double/triple duty, but six shows spaced out over the course of a full season doesn't seem particularly overwhelming to be. Good on her for getting all that work, though; she's certainly one of the more interesting young directors out there.
