Welcome to Our Creative Home

We’re so glad you’re here.

We are a husband-and-wife team—partners in life since 1973 and collaborators in storytelling ever since. As actors, playwrights, and producers, we’ve spent decades bringing compelling characters and unforgettable stories to life across stage, screen, and everything in between.

Our journey has taken us from the rehearsal room to the writer’s desk, from independent sets to major productions. What remains constant is our shared belief in the power of storytelling to connect, inspire, and transform.

Whether you’re a fellow artist, a curious viewer, or a potential collaborator, we invite you to explore our world—past productions, upcoming projects, and the heart behind the work.

Thank you for joining us. The story continues…

Alan Blumenfeld and Katherine James

Midsummer Night’s Dream

Alan and Katherine return in their award winning* performances playing Bottom and Peter Quince as a married couple. Not to be missed!

“For more comic relief Blumenfeld’s Bottom couldn’t ask for a more hilarious group of fellow thespians…(including) Blumenfeld’s real-life leading lady, Katherine James – a simply adorable Quince.”

Romeo and Juliet: Love Knows No Age

Alan and Katherine are the star-crossed lovers in a surprising new adaptation of Shakespeare’s classic that boldly asks: What happens when Romeo and Juliet fall in love at age 74 instead of 14?

Without changing any of Shakespeare’s language, this production cleverly transforms Shakespeare’s Verona into Verona Village, a retirement community for active seniors. At a time when stories about aging often sideline romance, this adaptation argues that passion, rebellion, desire, and heartbreak don’t disappear with age. Instead, the production asks audiences to reconsider who gets to be seen as romantic leads – and whose love stories still matter.
