Margarett Perry is thrilled to be back at Kitchen Theatre Company where she has directed more than 25 productions since first coming here in 2006 with Clean Alternatives by Brian Dykstra. Last season she directed Polishing Shakespeare (also by Brian Dykstra) which transferred to New York and just concluded its sold-out/extended run Off-Broadway where it broke box office records at 59E59. Some other KTC favorites include Seminar (with David McElwee), Entertainer’s Eulogy (with Darian Dauchan), The House, The Thanksgiving Play, Motherfucker with the Hat, Cock, A Marriage Minuet and The Two of You. Margarett has directed and developed new work Off-Broadway and in regional theatres across the country as well as in Scotland and London. She is the Artistic Director of Twilight Theatre Company, a Resident Company at 59E59, whose recent productions include Polishing Shakespeare (in association with KTC), The Rosenberg Strange/Fruit Project by John Jiler, Appraisal by Tim Marriott, Plotters by Brian Parks and A Special Relationship by Tim Marriott and Jeff Stolzer (also at the Tabard Theatre in London). Other recent credits include the critically acclaimed world premieres of Born in East Berlin by Rogelio Martinez and Seared by Theresa Rebeck (both at San Francisco Playhouse), Shrek the Musical (Connecticut Rep), Used to Was/Maybe Did by Brian Dykstra (Center Theatre Group) and The Revolutionists (Human Race). During the shutdown, Margarett ventured into the short film and music video world for passion projects such as #Hashtag That- Say Their Name (from the musical Crazy Make Crazy), Time Passes by Brian Dykstra for the Resident Acting Company and This Doesn’t Work written & performed by Darian Dauchan and Brian Dykstra—watch at www.artisactivism.net.
