"Ella The Ungovernable" was originally written as a film script about 15 year-old Ella Fitzgerald's incarceration and eventual escape from The NY Training School For Girls in Hudson, NY, in 1933. The play debuted to s.r.o. audiences at the Valatie Community Theater in February, 2020, two weeks before the onset of the pandemic. Now, the play is coming to life in a new incarnation, occupying the main stage at Theater For The New City in Greenwich Village this summer.

I made this video at the onset of the pandemic, and again, it addresses what it means to be human.
