This is Brienne’s directorial debut with The Collective. This past March she warmed hearts and ruffled feathers with her drag version of Beth Henley’s Crimes of the Heart for New Bedford’s Your Theatre Inc. Her previous experience with The Collective is writing and acting in several 1440 productions including All Shallow’s Eve, Key to My Heart, and How I Met Your Friend’s Theory. Brienne is a high school English teacher at Old Colony Regional Vocational Technical High School in Rochester and in her spare time- wait, just kidding, she has no spare time. Enjoy the show!

Come see the show that Eric Paradis calls "Entertaining!" "The pace was just excellent!" "As for the drag concept- it just works!" Crimes Of The Heart opens tomorrow night. www.yourtheatre.org

🎉 We hope you all had a Happy New Year, because we’ve got big plans for our 2024 comeback! Our talented crew of writers and directors are working on putting together a one-act play fest of original short plays. These plays will be performed by members of the Collective and the Greater New Bedford community. If you’re interested in performing or being a member of the production crew, stay tuned for future announcements about how you can get involved. 🎉

💥A very very happy birthday to our own Katie Gregory! Katie is a founding member of the Collective and has spent just about every single Collective production treading the boards on stage! When she’s not acting or singing, she’s directing (or all of the above!) Katie also manages our social media! (just not today 😉) 💻 So if you see this supremely talented being out in the wild this week, wish her a Happy Birthday from us! We love you Katie! We legitimately couldn’t do this crazy thing without you!💥
