Marlo and her partner, Artistic Producer Sasha Eden, are developing The Theatrical Culinary Project: an immersive culinary theater piece bringing four playwrights and one chef into collaboration for the building of a multi-storylined play taking place in real time in a fictitious restaurant. The play will explore varied stories of race, class, and gender politics, while the audience dines on a menu created by the Chef de Cuisine, which in itself is a character in the play. TCP's team includes our Artistic Culinary Producer, celebrated chef Carla Hall (Top Chef, Top Chef All Stars, The Chew), and our phenomenal playwrights Courtney Baron, Hilary Bettis, and Daniel Pearle. This May we bring our writers and chef together for a first workshop in New York. Marlo directs. |

Marlo headed to Houston's TUTS Underground to choreograph the new musical LMNOP, directed by Joe Calarco. LMNOP features Book & Lyrics by Scott Burkell, and Music by Paul Loesel. With performances led by Jared Zirilli (Pretty Filthy), Maddy Trumble (Wicked), Natalie Venetia Belcon (Avenue Q), and Michele Ragusa (Young Frankenstein), LMNOP takes us to the island of Nollop, where chaos arises when letters begin to fall from the town monument and government officials ban them one by one. The community depends on the strength of a determined teenage girl to fight for their freedom of speech. This unique musical reminds us of how precious our liberties are and how important it is to have the courage to stand up for what we believe.
