Brooklyn Players Community Theater, Urinetown 2011.
Max directed plays for Brooklyn Players Community Theater, started by Corinne Goodman. The mission of the company is to create opportunities for actors, singers, and dancers who wish to challenge their talent, build up new abilities, and take a leap of faith. The company goal is to give over to the exploration of the piece, learn from each other, and make a work of heart and quality.
The cast of Urinetown contained first time performers alongside BFA actors from top theater schools and seasoned performers with years of experience. Into the Woods was similarly diverse, casting actors with the intent to challenge their talent and bring out new elements to their performance abilities.
Urinetown was a tremendous success, not just because of the high quality of the show or its sold out run, but due to the positivity and investment of all involved. Into the Woods raised the bar for the company and delivered a well crafted, well wrought piece of theater- connected, truthful, and well-paced.
