The American Theater in Moscow (founded by Alexander Nash in 2022) strives to be a center of cultural exchange for Russians and Americans, free from politics. La La Land, it’s flagship production, is an opportunity for Russians to experience authentic American Musical Theater without getting on a plane to New York. La La Land, performed in English, tells the love story of Mia and Sebastian—actress and musician—as they struggle to succeed in the “City of Stars”, Los Angelous.
When Alexander approached me about directing La La Land, he said he was looking for a female director to give a “woman’s perspective” on the events in the play. Through the material I hope to express to the audience my views on the importance of not giving up on your career dreams, but also your dreams and goals in love and relationships.
I have had a fantastic time rehearsing this play with the most amazing cast of actors and creative team. The show premiered on June 23, 2022 in Dom Aktera.
