About Me.
Since stepping on stage at the age of seven for a community theatre production of "The Music Man" I have been enamored with the magic of theatre. Part of that magic is the intangible connection between audience and production. Every aspect of production must be scrupulously planned and practiced with care. The managing of a live performance requires effective communication between design teams, crew, performers, often with disparate personalities that require tactful handling. The focus is on the big picture and audience experience, but the success lies in the careful management of the small details. I have trained in a variety of styles and stagecraft techniques, focusing the growth of my career toward directing. I create live events that are energetic, immersive, trashy, silly, and wonderfully joyful.
