My H*tler’s Tasters Journey Continues
After several years acting as Anna for New Light Theatre Project’s production of H*tler’s Tasters, I am thrilled to announce that I will be taking on a new role: Director.
This fall I will be directing and producing 5th Wall Theatre’s production of H*tler’s Tasters by Michelle Kholos Brooks at Virgina Rep’s Theatre Gym. Running October 17 - November 2, 2024.
H*tler’s Tasters by Michelle Kholos Brooks
“Three times a day, every day, a group of young women have the opportunity to die for their country. They are Adolph Hitler's food tasters. Using an anachronistic retelling of a historical footnote, and stretching from the WWII era to today’s autocracy, the play asks us to consider what girls discuss as they wait to see if they will live through another meal.”
H*tler’s Tasters Off Broadway!
April 14, 2022 through May 21, 2022 performed at Theatre Row for my Off Broadway Debut!
“One of the best evenings I’ve spent in the theater in a long time…It was interesting, entertaining, upsetting and made you think.” – Susan Stroman, Legendary Director
To accompany this unique and vibrant production, New Light Theater Project will host a curated talkback series. Notable moderators and special guests will join our award-winning creative team to explore the themes of H*tler’s Tasters that engage today’s polemics, including the dangers of disinformation, the marginalization of minorities, and the significance of an entirely female-led theatrical production in an inequitable industry. We welcome your participation in this evolving conversation about how our play set “then” interrogates what threatens our world now.
The Kilroys: The List 2020
'“Hitler’s Tasters” was honored to be selected for The Kilroys The List 2020. This list honored stage productions created by women, trans and non-binary playwrights that had shows cancelled and/or postponed due to the COVID-19 Pandemic. During the celebration, “Hitler’s Tasters” was able to showcase a portion of its writing through an online performance by myself as “Anna”.
“...innocent Anna (a devastating Kaitlin Paige Longoria)...”
“Kailin Paige Longoria who played Anna, won the audience over with her pure charisma and stage presence. No doubt the playwright wrote her part to be sympathetic to the audience and Ms. Longoria’s talent took over from there. Kudos to her.”
“Kaitlin Paige Longoria is pegged as a scapegoat due to her sensitive and poetic nature, as expressed by Longoria’s melodic voice.”
“The ensemble is nothing short of breathtaking ”
“The ensemble cast latches onto Michelle Kholos Brooks’s script with passionate zeal and each member delivers authentic and believable performances.”
“Under Sarah Norris’s exacting direction, the brilliant ensemble cast carries this perennial weight with enormous grace and determination.”
