Letters of Suresh
An original play by Rajiv Joseph.

Letters of Suresh was Second Stage Theatre's first in-person show after its shutdown for COVID-19, and was a poignant piece about creating bonds over long distances. Spatialized audio and an original score illustrated the imagery conjured up by characters desperate to find meaningful connection. I assisted Charles Coes and Nathan A. Roberts on this piece.

Letters of Suresh was performed at the Tony Kiser Theatre from October 12-24, 2021.
