Thank you!
Thank you for visiting my web page!
I look forward to connecting with new faces in new places and continuing long-term collaborations with many fellow artists from my past.
Our theatres are more important now than ever before. Whether it's performing a song from the spirited plains, speaking the complexities of broken hearts, or staging a musical celebration of seemingly ridiculous comedic circumstances - we must create. We must share.
The theatre can alleviate heavy minds, impaired emotions, vulnerable hearts, and so much more. In the theatre, a surprising tear, a contagious laugh, a bright smile, or an unanticipated change in tempo can surprisingly become a spectacle of togetherness - togetherness among groups of seemingly perfect strangers united by sharing a common human condition. The theatre provides a time, space, and stories to facilitate our understanding of one another. Together, we need to laugh, to cry, to love, and empathize more than ever before. Let's fully engage in this monstrous task and rejuvenate the theatre to what it once was and what it can become.
It WILL NOT be easy, but it WILL BE worth it! I'm hopeful the theatre will overcome our challenges, press forward, and provide the reprieve we all so desperately desire.
Please take a moment to say hello and tell me about your current projects. I look forward to hearing from you soon! I sincerely do!
Many thanks, be safe, be well.
"The theatre is the only institution in the world that has been dying for four thousand years and never succumbed. It requires tough and devoted people to keep it alive."
-John Steinbeck
"Theater is, of course, a reflection of life. Maybe we have to improve life before we can hope to improve theater."
-William Inge
"We need a type of theatre which not only releases the feelings, insights and impulses possible within the particular historical field of human relations in which the action takes place, but employs and encourages those thoughts and feelings which help transform the field itself."
-Bertolt Brecht
