50 years since Diane Arbus’s passing by suicide, we reopen and theatrically bring to life her iconic final project: “A Box of 10 Photographs.” These scenic snapshots preserve moments in Arbus’s lifetime and New York City history, while exploring current themes of mental health, identity, creative appropriation, and imagination. 

This play, by rising playwright Ellis Stump, was mentored at Columbia University by David Henry Hwang (M Butterfly) and is directed by Erin Quinn Purcell.

Erin Quinn Purcell has worked as an actor/director/writer in New York City for over 25 years. She serves as Performing Arts Chair on the Westbeth Artist Residents Council.

In addition to directing “Where I’ve Never Gone”, Erin is also currently working with Jay Reiss (The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee) on a new musical, Iceboy!
