JACK VENTIMILIA

Sterile Processing
Written by Ava O'Dea, Performed at Brooklyn Garage

"Jack’s direction is focused on empathy, human nature, and the connection between the actors, each other, and the audience. He feels like a director who is there to do the best he can for a script and its actors—he wants to take a script, get to the roots of it, and use that to cohesively and collaboratively tell an impactful story."
–Ava O’Dea, Writer / Founder of &Son’s’ Theater Collective
In Sterile Processing, childhood acquaintances reconnect while awaiting an experimental surgery. This process taught me how to dig into subtext and carve out the breadth of a multi-year relationship while working within the bounds of an alternative space. I directed this project in a garage!
