We've got a special introductory guest this week! Tune in to find out who and then hop straight into the engaging chat Mary has with the writer and director of this season's one-act, Speed Date; or, come here often?, Anike Sonuga and Kyra L Moskowitz. They dig into the rehearsal process, working with great actors, and taking up space as artists. 

Play Synopsis

Speed Sate (or, come here often?) is a play about two people (maybe even soulmates, one might say) who keep meeting each other in different lifetimes but can't seem to stay together. Wonder why that is.

The Writer
Anike is a second year in Tisch Drama at Playwrights Horizons Theatre School. While Anike has acted in a Broke People Play before (the searcher is Lost), this is her first play being put on for the festival. Very excited about the spring festival!!

The Director
Kyra Moskowitz (she/her) is an actor-writer-director, currently finishing up her BFA in Drama at NYU Tisch. She began studying with Atlantic Acting Studio, where she played Friar Lawrence in Romeo & Juliet, before heading to Berlin to complete the NYU Actor Training Program there. She has written and directed two short films, entitled The Type, and Shrink, She Said, Shrink Again, about fatphobia and eating disorders. While acting is her first love, writing and directing have become equally fulfilling opportunities for her, and she is extremely grateful to have the opportunity to direct Speed Date. or, come here often? with such talented people.
