Black Box Chronicles - Dramatic Disturbances

Our mission is to work with playwrights from inception to production to bring their voices to the fore. We also work with visual artists, storytellers, musicians, poets and writers to integrate theater/performance with other genres. Our goal is to create dialogue - with audiences, between creators, and bring forth the lesser known artists in our community.

Writing the Walls began in 2005, using the incredible contemporary artwork from exhibits at Hudson Valley MOCA as inspiration. The concept of using art as inspiration for writing is not new, but for 21 years HVMOCA has redefined the process, using the artwork as inspiration to write poems or plays. Writing the Walls allows the audience, who walks through the gallery to enter the theater, to develop a new appreciation of the intersection of narration, art, and interpretation. “And,” says, Mara Mills, who created Writing the Walls with Livia Straus, co-founder of HVMOCA, “It is always a celebration of the talent and imagination of our community.” Producer, Jeremy Gratt Artistic Director, Mara Mills Co-Producer 2026 Short Plays, Quint Spitzer Stage Manager 2026 Short Plays, Carrie Ford Playwrights: Jack Rushton, Bette Siler, Ed Friedman, Derek Tarson, Ruth Apolonia Zamoyta, SC Stowe, Steve Gold, Laurie Treacy, Liz Burk, Brian Petti, Bara Swain, and Ric Siler Directors: Derek Tarson, Mara Mills, Robin Jareth, Quint Spitzer, Ed Friedman, and Gerry Micea Actors: Bruce Apar, Gavino Olvera, Marie Wall, Benna Strober, Nick Byrne, Eric Percival, Julian Hargrove, Kristy O'Driscoll, Kelly Kirby, Elizabeth Mialaret, Misti Tindiglia, Derek Tarson, Ed Friedman, Debbie Buchsbaum, Brian Bagot, Katerina Spilio, Grace O'Malley, Chasity Perez, and Gerry Micera
