DAUGHTER
Directed by Alexandra Rizkallah
Do you have any regrets in life? Maybe laughing at that joke or the way you handled that relationship? We all have something. Come find out mine.
Here is a father who loves his daughter. You can tell from the way he held her when she was born after a difficult delivery; you can tell from the way he dances with her to her favourite songs; you can tell from the way he will do anything to protect her.
He's not going to apologise for every other little thing he's ever done. Who knows, you might have done them too…
Balancing humour and horror, Daughter is a darkly satirical monologue about fatherhood, love, and toxic masculinity. Told with unsettling charm, this story interrogates questions of culpability and complicity in our society. It examines the subtle and not-so-subtle ways we condone and encourage misogyny.
Welcome to Daughter: a show that exposes the hypocrisies and complexities of the human experience.

MY NAME IS RACHEL CORRIE
Directed by Deidre Freitas
I think it is a good idea for all of us to drop everything and devote our lives to making this stop. – Rachel Corrie
“We’re all born and someday we’ll all die. Most likely to some degree alone.” Why does a twenty-something American woman go to the Gaza Strip in 2003? The collected writing pieces of activist Rachel Corrie speak to humanity, the struggle to understand why the world looks the way it does, and even in the darkness, gives hope.
Daughter & My name is Rachel Corrie are performed as part of
the MFA Directing Season, 2025.
