  • I am proud to announce SIREN SONGS, featured in the 2019 Philadelphia Fringe Festival. Partnered with Theater Oblivion, SIREN SONGS is a documentary/verbatim theater piece focused around the topic of addiction and substance abuse disorder. In the piece, we follow the journey of 6 individuals affected by addiction. The goal of SIREN SONGS is to educate and reduce stigma in the midst of the current Opioid Epidemic.#endthestigma​
