Directing

My goal as a director is to create a seamless piece of life on the stage. The more I can move the audience to dissolve into what they are viewing, the more I have achieved. I have learned to love the art of collaboration, as I feel it is the basis of theatre. When a piece has all of its elements working fully to create art, it is realizing the true purpose of the work.

Theatre is life and my hope is that my work will honor and reward those who have chosen to view it.
