I am an artistic director, director, choreographer, writer and educator.
I am deeply curious about humans; how they act and what they think. I spend much of my time listening to what is said and not said. I give equal attention to action and inaction, because in both we find truth.
Every day I strive to do my best work, whether that is in the making of art, listening, inspiring, guiding or empowering. My community is deep, rich, diverse and magnificently talented. And, I feel lucky to be in New York City, living the life that I live, and doing what I do best.

PROMISING
With just a grimace or a smile, MacDonald keeps us oriented to the moments Bombeck is exploring, while Berliner’s swift pace helps navigate the transitions from one Bombeck topic — and affiliated zingers — to another.
- The Boston Globe
Written by Michelle Elliott and directed by Terry Berliner, this play has an intense, captivating plot, excellent staging and features extraordinary acting.

IBIS
Under the shrewd direction of Terry Berliner, Eric Lane's IBIS tantalizingly takes the form of a detective story, complete with a blinding overhead light and the shadow of venetian blinds on the upstage wall (evocative lighting by Greg MacPherson).
– Theatermania

Cast of
MOTHERFREAKINGHOOD
Full of femme power and friendship, the show’s New York debut is directed by Terry Berliner.
