David's work has been presented at major theatres around the globe, including London's Hammersmith Apollo, Williamstown Theatre Festival and the New York Shakespeare Festival. Highlights include the stage adaptations of Disney's High School Musical 1 and 2; the full length opera commission, The Life and Death(s) of Alan Turing with composer Justine Chen (American Lyric Theater); Whida Peru, with a score by Josh Schmidt; and The Screams of Kitty Genovese, a rock-opera with a score by Will Todd. David also wrote the libretto for Pulitzer Prize-winner Aaron J. Kernis' millennium symphony, Garden Of Light, which received its world premiere with the NY Philharmonic at Avery Fisher Hall, conducted by Kurt Masur, in the Fall of 1999.

Directing the show has its ups and downs. It was a tiring, stressful ordeal to tackle along with the rest of school and took a lot of effort, but at the same time, it was such a fun and enlightening experience. I’m so glad I got to direct, giving me more experience off the stage rather than on it. I’d like to thank my family for their support, my classmates for putting up with me, and my theatre friends and teachers outside of school for giving me the experience needed to tackle this. A big thanks to Gracie, who helped me in class many times as my co-director. The show probably wouldn’t be finished with just me working. I hope you have a good time, enjoy the show!
