MORE ABOUT ME
A most gratifying moment: sitting in the audience during the run of my very first play and realizing people were paying attention and responding to the work. I keep doing theater because I love that everyone (inclucing me) shows up completely willing to suspend disbelief, and to go wherever the work takes them.

WHAT I'M WORKING ON
A new multimedia work that I'm calling The New Project.
