Directing Philosophy

I believe that theatre starts with trust between everyone in the space, and I believe the core of a director's job is to build that trust.

I believe that, while a director provides the vision for a show, he or she needs to trust the actors to create their own characters.

I believe a director's job is to create a great show in all aspects, from the acting to the tech.

I believe directing is more than simply blocking and running scenes. A great performance goes deeper than what is shown on the outside.

I believe In order to create a great performance, a director must make the actors, production staff and technicians as passionate about the show as they are.

I believe that a great performance hinges on the actor's honesty. When a director leaves his or her heart and soul on stage, the actor will follow suit, and the audience will pick it all up and believe in what they are seeing.

Production Staff Experience

From working as a production assistant and publicity director on Life Under Water to stage managing The Real Inspector Hound, I have been on production staff for several shows with OPRF Theatre and Acting For a Cause.
