consulting for and directing readings of a new musical, NEWPORT, last seen at the Gotham Comedy Club, NYC.
NEWPORT,written by Steve Baranski and Rich Byrne, is based on the Newport sex scandal of 1919

Julie Jensen's play, LAST LISTS OF MY MAD MOTHER, which originated at The Mark Taper Forum.

During the summer of 2025, Marion directed two one act comedies for The Colonial Theatre's Shakespeare's
Summer Shorts Series: PERSONS OF THE PLAY and SHAKESPEARE'S DEAD DAMES written by
Robert Durwood Madison and David Overton, respectively.

in 2024, Marion directed the hilarious comedy/thriller, THE 39 STEPS for The ColonialTheatre.
