THE LEAVES CHANGING COLOR IN THE FALL

The Leaves Changing Color in the Fall had a reading at Columbia University in 2026. It is a play with music featuring original music written by Evan Brodsky and composed by Elliot B. Culpepper.​

At a struggling synagogue in Tarzana, California, Rabbi Moishe Cooperman risks everything when a chance encounter with an unhoused man named Joshua upends both his Rosh Hashanah sermon and his faith. As his marriage to Cantor Estie begins to unravel, their nearly estranged son Eli, a trans indie rock singer/songwriter, returns, turning the chaos into music. But when trust breaks down and compassion sours into suspicion, a single accusation threatens to destroy not only the Coopermans, but the fragile community they’ve built. The Leaves Changing Color in the Fall is a play with music about faith, identity, and what it means to truly see one another.

What if you could take a pill to erase your past? When two patients begin treatment at The Memory Centre, a depression treatment facility located in a coastal English town, they are faced with unsettling truths about the process and themselves.

For(e)bear had a staged reading at The Brooklyn Center for Theatre Research in March of 2025.

In For(e)bear, Ben, a queer student studying abroad in Berlin with his all-time favorite author, is assigned to craft a fictional narrative. Inspired by a box of his late grandmother's belongings, he discovers a portrait in a museum by Sonya Abrahmson, a lesbian painter from the Weimar Republic. What starts as a writing assignment quickly pulls Ben into Sonya’s life, and her world, blurring the lines between imagination and reality. As Ben uncovers queer history and his grandmother’s secrets, he begins to see how storytelling can connect the past and present in ways he never expected.
