I love plays that allow characters to confront the systems that shape them. Watching a character lean into tension between their own hopes and dreams and the world they find themselves in is electric for the audience.

I’ve had the privilege of staging classic and new works alike, and I always begin by asking "what does this show hope that we ask ourselves when the curtain falls?” From here we can look to who has traditionally occupied the center of a play and challenging who gets to see themselves in it now. What conversations can we create?

Theatre offers an opportunity for audiences to truly recognize themselves and one another within a story. This emerges most deeply when my storytelling is rooted in honesty and urgency.

I take great pride in leading a room in which artists are empowered to take creative risks, challenge assumptions, and build a piece through true collaboration.

I am committed to building theatre that asks not only who holds power, but who has been denied the opportunity to imagine themselves at its center. My goal is for audiences to leave with renewed curiosity for one another, for the stories we inherit, and ultimately what we choose to carry forward.
