A Burial Place marks Joey’s third collaboration with Owen Panettieri. Previously, she directed Vestments of the Gods (2014) and The Timing of a Day (2010) for the New York Fringe Festival. Both plays earned Overall Excellence Awards for Best Ensemble. Joey is the Artistic Director for STAR Theater at The Directors Company. She has directed and written numerous educational films and PSA’s. Her film, Taking a Step Back won entrance into the Urban Visionaries Film Festival and was chosen as Best of Specials for MNN. Also a playwright, Joey wrote and directed Better Left Unsaid, which was the first live-streamed play. That experience led her to direct Abstract Nude as part of The Wired Arts Festival, which she co-produced and live-streamed with Virtual ArtsTV.  Special thanks to Luis and 5000 Broadway Productions and Sarah Norris and NLTP! Love to Hal, Zadie and Craig!
