Subsequent productions included A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Front Porch Forum (2015), Seven Minutes in Heaven: I’m Totally Crushing on the Best of Stealing from Work (2015), History Retweets Itself (2017), The Unbearable Whiteness of Being (2018), SVU: Sketch Victims Unit (2019), From Russia With Likes (2020), Something Old, Something New, Nothing Borrowed, Often Blue (2022), and Gaslight at the End of the Tunnel (2023).
