Virginia Scott

Virginia Scott specializes in developing and staging both solo plays and physically oriented pieces for the stage.

Credits include Planet Banana at Ars Nova, The Orange Girl at the US Comedy Arts Festival in Aspen, Tramp: a clown show touring Maine, Vermont, California and New York, How To Be a Man at the Palace of Variety, Great White American Teeth at the Midtown International Festival, Contents Under Pressure at the Brooklyn Lyceum, The Uncaring Dog at the Present Company, and Happy Hour in On the Open Road at the Palace of Variety.

 Virginia is continuing to work with the physical comedy trio Happy Hour on their new show, It Takes 3, most recently presented at Sage 36.  And Virginia is working on a book with director and master clown, Christopher Bayes, detailing his approach to clown.  She recently assisted him with the adaptation and staging of Ruzzante at the NYU Graduate Acting Program and will complete her training with him to teach clown in the fall.

Virginia served as the resident director at the critically acclaimed theater, Nada 45, where she notoriously failed to cast Ryan in her production of Beach Blanket Bacchae.

 

The critics on:

Planet Banana


"Shamefully funny and cheerily loud... As enjoyable as it is raucous!"
The New York Times

"An adorably raunchy romance."
Time Out New York


"Planet Banana, under the direction of Virginia Scott, is as tenaciously funny as it is irresistibly naughty."
U.S. 1 News


“The director (Virginia Scott), designers, and performers of Planet Banana are masters of the art of making a keenly crafted production look impromptu and off the cuff. It is much like a well-rehearsed trapeze act, strange in how effortless it seems.”

Happy Hour in It Takes 3

“high-energy, fast-moving, make-your-head-spin comedy”
The New York Times

Beach Blanket Bacchae

"cleverly satiric script… More fun than multimillion dollar Broadway shows!"

Great White American Teeth

“Virginia Scott keeps the action moving, I found myself wanting to know more… sparkling energy, masterful mimicry, colorful phrasing, and dead-on comic timing”
