Dr. Robertson!
On May 1, 2025, I officially became a Doctor. I passed my Oxford University Ph.D. dissertation defense (called a viva voce in Ox parlance) with no corrections! My esteemed examiners were Soviet cultural historian Zbigniew Wojnowski (Oxford) and Gulag scholar Alan Barenberg (Texas Tech). Many thanks to my terrific supervisors Profs. Dan Healey & Polly Jones. Now let's get this baby published!
In September 2025, I'll begin as an Adjunct Faculty at NYU's Tisch Drama, where I've designed a brand new elective: "Soviet Stages: Theatre as Revolution, Repression & Resistance in the USSR."​​​​

Saundra Lezzenbaum: Love in Concert!
Thursday, Sep 18 @ Brooklyn Comedy Collective
Love in Concert! is a one-of-a-kind, one-woman spectacular from the one-and-only Saundra Lezzenbaum; the world-famous America’s Queen of Hearts tells her love life story with hits from her new album “Saungs for a Perfect Marriage.” The heart of the show is its “Love Lezzons,” where Saundra tackles real love life questions from the audience. Almost entirely improvised, every Love in Concert! performance becomes its own romantic revolution with laughter, tears, buckets of spinach dip and a community-building experience like no other.

The Two Gentlemen of Oxford
In May 2024 I performed as the Duke in Shakespeare's Two Gentlemen of Verona at the Oxford Playhouse. The production was directed by the incredible Sir Greg Doran (Artistic Director of the Royal Shakespeare Co. from 2012-2022). In our show, the Duke (aka me) did drag and performed a sparkling rendition of "Mambo Italiano".
