Whether building an original piece, or bringing a well-known story to life, each production I direct and/or musical direct is celebrated as a premiere, for each contributor to the process brings with them unique choices and exclusive energies and ingredients. Furthermore, each process yields its own, distinctive and exciting ensemble dynamic, which elicits a story, "sui generis." 
 
I provide accepting and validating training opportunities in safe, bolstering environments to ensure each individual - be they storyteller, designer, dancer, musician, producer - is comfortable exploring and expressing from their core.
 
I honor each theatrical team as a troupe of extraordinary architects: brainstorming and building; breaking down and reconstructing; aestheticizing, physicalizing, vocalizing; delving, discussing and discovering. Each 'character,' on stage and off, is piece of a spectacular puzzle. And, when the pieces are linked and intertwining, the most remarkable, transformative, magical works of art appear: art that is observed, heard, experienced, and contemplated.

From honoring the circumstances and details provided by the script, lyrics, libretto, orchestrations... to creating specifics unaccounted for and filling in the blanks... making meaning and advancing understanding for both actors and audience, are key components of my work. Whether I am immersed in musical theatre, non-musical theatre, educational theatre, Theatre for Young Audiences, or theatre for social/emotional wellness, I am committed to providing scholarship, leadership, and inspiration through this transformative art and craft.

The power, potential and impact of sharing through Theatre is matchless. I look forward to working and playing together.
