2012 - A Funny Thing Happened on the way to the forum
“Director’s Note
...Forum primarily focuses on a character struggling to gain the most basic human right-to be treated and seen as a person, not a piece of property. Psedulous’ determined quest for his freedom is what sets riotous scenario after scenario in motion... I have a great love for Forum because it balances levity with deep and sometimes heartbreaking needs. While Psedulous’ quest is perhaps the most exaggerated version of reaching for freedom, many of the other characters are fighting for the right to make your own destiny, etc....”
