"What happens when you can no longer do what you love? An aging dancer who might have just landed her big break and a Ukrainian ballet director isolated in Idaho confront existential questions..."

Benjamin's Passion was developed with David Ford, with additional help from Molly Rose Williams. 

It was produced by the Marsh Theatre and Stephanie Weisman in August 2023 as part of the In Front Of Your Eyes festival in SF.
