Horatio and Benvolio are both going through a lot right now. Like, a lot. Thank God they have each other.

In an unassuming apartment, Horatio (of Hamlet fame) and Benvolio (you know, the sane one from Romeo & Juliet) meet up to chill, eat pizza, and vent about their friends. But when annoying relationship drama becomes a matter of life and death, these two will have to learn to lean on each other like never before.A modern examination of the survivors of two of Shakespeare’s most famous tragedies, We Need Better Friends navigates the ups, the downs, the laughs, and the tears that come with just trying to get through another day, and what it means to not do it alone.Premiering at Hollywood Fringe 2024, We Need Better Friends garnered two Fringe award nominations for Two-Person Show and Fringe First World Premiere.

They Never Should Have Gone Into the Woods...

The year is 1984. Verona teens Parker, Val, Larry and Seth are ready for a guys' weekend partying in the woods of Milan. Little do they know, Julia, Parker's girlfriend, has dragged along her best friend Lucy to surprise them. Julia and Parker are on a break but she's sure this will get them back on track. When Val introduces Silvia to the gang, Parker is smitten by his best friend's girlfriend. As if the teenage drama wasn't enough, accidentally disturbing the remains of Titus Andronicus only makes things worse. And deadlier. And bloodier.In a mashup of Two Gentlemen of Verona and Titus Andronicus with a splash of 1980s slasher thrown in, Titus Kills premiered at the Sherry Theatre in October 2023. Receiving sold out houses and rave reviews, there's little doubt that Titus will strike again. But when?
