Katie Lupica returned to New York City this fall after a summer in the Directing Corps at Williamstown Theatre Festival in western Massachu-
setts. Up next, she is co-producing and directing the New York premiere of PAINS OF YOUTH, a German play from the 1920s about restless young medical students coming of age in post-WWI Vienna, in a new translation that first premiered at the National Theatre in London. This production will open in early 2014 at the Access Theater in downtown Manhattan.
