Theatre, at its best, is a conversation between artist and audience—a moment of shared humanity where stories transcend time, space, and expectation. As a director, I am driven by the power of storytelling to challenge, inspire, and unite. My approach is rooted in honoring the text, embracing bold theatricality, and creating an environment where artists can thrive and audiences can discover something new about themselves.

Over the past 15 years, I have dedicated myself to shaping compelling theatrical experiences, collaborating with vibrant artistic teams across the Phoenix theatre community. From intimate dramas to large-scale musicals, my work is defined by a commitment to dynamic staging, nuanced character exploration, and an unwavering belief that every production should be a meticulously crafted experience. Whether directing in-the-round or in a proscenium setting, I thrive on using space to elevate storytelling, ensuring that every audience member feels engaged and immersed in the world we create.

Collaboration is at the heart of my directing philosophy. I believe in fostering a rehearsal room built on trust, curiosity, and rigorous artistic exploration. I challenge actors to dig deep into their characters while providing the tools and support they need to succeed. I partner with designers to create cohesive visual and aural landscapes that elevate the narrative. And I push myself to continually refine and innovate, making each production not just a performance, but an event.

My work has been recognized for its clarity, theatrical inventiveness, and ability to balance spectacle with intimacy. Whether it’s bringing the heart of Steel Magnolias to life in an intimate setting, capturing the high-energy movement of All Shook Up, or finding the unexpected humor in The Curious Savage, my goal is always the same: to create theatre that resonates.

If you are a theatrical organization and agree with me, I would be honored to contribute my vision, passion, and experience to your stage. I look forward to the opportunity to collaborate and bring new stories to life in ways that challenge and delight both artists and audiences alike.
