rebirth of rabbit's foot

Rebirth of Rabbit’s Foot is a vaudeville-inspired hip hop comedy show written by me and Jordon Waters.

Three friends — Jay, Ray, and Ted — fed up with the vicious cycle of auditioning for canned POC roles, find inspiration in the works of vaudeville pioneer Pat Chappelle. As the show grows to wider audiences, vaudeville’s history of appropriation by wealthy and white patrons rears its ugly head.

Rabbit’s Foot completed a two-year residency at the PIT NYC then traveled to many theaters, including Mixed Blood Theater in Minneapolis and Boom! Chicago in Amsterdam.

about

Congrats! You made it this far. I’m Stephen. I write. I joke. I film. I’m based in my hometown, New York. Catch me at some local open mics telling a joke or reading a poem. Hell, I might be in a local play or shooting a short.

Accessibility’s a big deal to me. The majority of the world is working-class, yet I don’t see enough of our stories. I’m a first-gen college student, graduating from Macalester College in 2014 with a BA in Creative Writing. Afterward, I served in AmeriCorps in the Twin Cities teaching filmmaking to teens. When I returned to New York, I pursued an MFA in Screenwriting at Feirstein Graduate School of Cinema.

If my work caught your eye or you’d like to see my scripts, shoot me an email/tweet/carrier pigeon, etc.
