The first step to a better audition is to give up character and use yourself.

Meet our director, Bree Bridger
Joining Shunya for the first time with our planned August 2017 production of Tanika Gupta’s “The Waiting Room” is director Bree Bridger. Bree has previously directed for Mildred’s Umbrella, Firecracker Productions, and Blueprint Theatre. Over the past several months she has been getting to know the Shunya production team and digging into the script.
“I’m SO looking forward to working with the great team at Shunya (who produced one of the first plays I ever saw in Houston) to bring this heart-warming story of a complicated family struggling to find peace, both in this life and on the way to the next, as long-held secrets are revealed. It’s a project we all believe in, and will bring heartbreak and laughter to audiences!”

Coming up this Saturday is our kick off social at Axelrad on May 20th at 5 pm. We hope you can come out and meet us and learn more about the production!
