Directing
McCoy has been directing productions since college, guiding the production of her rock albums, live shows, international tours, so it was a natural transition when her friend Alice Barden (Yale Drama) asked that she direct her wonderful piece, “Alice and Elizabeth’s One Woman Show”, a favorite at the Pillowfight Theatre Festival in 2009, then performed Off-Broadway at Theatre 80 Saint Marks, and featured on television.
Dana went on to direct her own rock musicals, “Cube Rat” at the Edinburgh Fringe [2011], and “Prom Queens” at Provincetown’s Paramount Room at the Crown and Anchor [2014], a children’s musical with book by Jody O’Niel; “Ibis The Wayward Whale, An Original Musical Tale”, [Summer 2013], A Shining Attribute by Candace Rusk at the International Women’s Theatre Festival [Fall 2013] and again at the Dublin Gay and Lesbian Theatre Festival [2014], Comedian Cathy Boruch’s One Woman Show “Downtown Mermaid” for the United Solo Festival [2015], Mel Gorham’s Musical, She’s Mad! [2017], Hosted and Directed “Stories From The Universe” at Cabaret Fleck, UUMH [Fall 2018] and A Woman’s Heart featuring the poetry of Judith Partelow at Wellfleet Harbor Actor’s Theater [2018] and Cotuit Center for the Arts [2019].
