MORE ABOUT ME
I am curious about what material gets presented in front of which audience. If theater is meant to expand our perspective and bring us to take action in our world, then I’d be curious about a diversity of culture and accessibility. Creating works that bring a mainstream audience into a room to experience a story, not just making theater for people who want to see themselves on stage. I am also curious about using social media, a digital stage, to bring people together in person to experience a story.

WHAT I'M WORKING ON
WW2 project - when the good guy is the bad guy.
