Darkling
In Residence at IRT Theater: July 2-7, 2013
Set in the late 1980's, Darkling follows Trinity, a thirteen-year-old wanna-be Goth girl from a suburban, affluent family who worships an older sister who escapes from a lock-up boarding school for troubled teens. After a failed first romance, Trinity journeys to find her fugitive sister, who is living on the streets. Trinity makes many life choices based on the idealized vision she has of her older sister, but when she finally finds her, Trinity discovers her idol isn't the person she thought she was. When Trinity learns the truth about her sister, she must choose: follow her role model into fantasy and insanity, or stay in the world and fight to make an impact. But is making an impact even possible?

Praise for Katzberg's past work:
Intriguing
--NY Times
Penetrating the Space has a glowing, vulnerable, haunting center.
-- NY Times
Katzberg's humor comes from a decidedly visceral place
--Theatermania
Katzberg is acutely aware of the strange contradictions in the theater world and she milks them to great effect, adding to an already hilarious physical performance.
