Directing

I look at the role of director as helping to create the space where actors' can make creative and exciting choices. It is my job to bring in skilled performers and help them to create a cohesive and engaging show that is repeatable. 

​

My passion for commedia dell'arte has truly shaped my work as a director. I love small casts, physical comedy, character work, and shenanigans. I truly believe it brings a cast closer together which in turn creates unique discoveries. 

​

Theatre cannot be separate from our values. I try to bring environmental awareness and community centered space to all of my work.
