Management

As a director, I am excited by the impact of collaboration. I am consistently drawn to projects that ask me to think outside the box; therefore, collaboration is necessary for developing a successful and creative process and product. Collaboration is crucial to the assignment of the creative team, the casting process, and the initial design presentations! The result creates a strong sense of ownership by all involved in the project. 

Having studied directing under the late Marita Woodruff at Webster University, Marita instilled in me the value of a director's vision, leadership, and potential for inspiration. Vision. Leadership. Inspiration. Through Marita's masterful teaching, I discovered the power of collaboration. Since 2007, I have collaborated on over twenty fully produced educational and professional productions.

I thrive in taking pre-existing works and putting a new and fresh spin on them while not losing sight of the play's integrity and the playwright's voice. I am drawn to plays and projects that can be reimagined through a creative and personal lens. In addition, I am actively seeking opportunities to be on the ground floor of a new work (play or musical). Plays and musicals with the element of history or class / social structure excite me. I am also drawn to period plays, Centlivre, Marivaux and Behn, Shakespeare, and small and large book musicals.
