Harry Barandes and Katelin Wilcox in New York Shakespeare Exchange's ShakesBEER Pub Crawl.
Press:
I directed the balcony scene from R&J for New York Shakespeare Exchange, ShakesBEER Pub Crawl. GC Advocate did a nice write up of the whole afternoon, R&J excerpt below:
“…Another good example of this philosophy in practice was obvious in the electric scene from Romeo & Juliet, expertly played by Harry Barandes and Katelin Wilcox. The famous balcony scene was imaginatively rendered by use of a single light and two tables. Not only did Wilcox’s Juliet have a Mike’s Hard Lemonade-the obvious drink of choice for a 14 year old in love—but her delivery reminded us that a contemporary Juliet would sound less like someone who reads Nietzsche and more like someone who has a wall full of Justin Bieber pictures. That’s right, Juliet would probably have been a “Belieber”. This appropriately youthful tone brings the comedy and absurdity out of this scene, from a play that depicts very young love indeed. All four scenes thus played perfectly in the four bars spread throughout midtown, and directors Eva Gil, Kim Krane and Ross Williams should be commended for using these spaces so well. “

Testimonials:
"Working with Eva is such a treat. She has a really keen sense of tone (hugely important for the weird comedies I write!) and allows the play to speak to her before diving into the work. But once she dives? She's all in. She commands the room in a gentle but powerful way, completely honoring the contributions of everyone around her. She has a beautiful ability to serve the story (and the playwright) by illuminating what's there asking to be activated. She's the kind of director I want to work with over and over again!"
~ Erin Mallon, playwright.
"Eva never condescended to material, audience or actor. She came to her work with keenness and generosity. It was a six minute play, I think, and every day she stood in rehearsal and worked the problem: what is this world and how do we make it?"
~Nathan Darrow, actor.
"Eva is a smart, confident, supportive, open director. She walks into the room with ideas but isn't afraid to collaborate. She respects the process; she respects actors and the playwright and that is a rare and wonderful thing."
~Lauren Berst, actor.
"Working with Eva is a complete delight! She is warm and engaging in the room. She asks thoughtful, illuminating questions that serve the play and spark the imagination of the actors. She challenges everyone to work with a joyful sense of play and a focused commitment to the collaboration."
~Lisa Kitchens, actor.
"Eva is a smart, creative director who pushes her actors to make strong, bold choices and infuses the rehearsal room with such a spirit of fun and collaboration that you feel free to try, fail and try again."
~Katelin Wilcox, actor.
