Theatrical production
These are selected works in my theatrical producing career to this point. While my theatrical experience began in performance, I have embraced the production and direction side of the theatre. I believe in collaborative processes and going against the norm / expected behavior of the theatre process from auditions to curtain speeches. I specialize in small, intimate productions and usually have immersive elements highlighted throughout my designs. I don’t believe in producing works longer than 80 minutes, and never with an intermission.

The Waystation
march 2020 at The martin
The Waystation was set to be a world premiere play by Teagan Walsh-Davis in April 2020. Unfortunately, our show was halted mid-rehearsal period due to COVID-19. But, plenty of conceptual work had already gone into the show, and the team rallied together in our first few weeks of quarantine to put together a tribute to the show which you can see HERE. Our work was incredibly collaborative and nothing I list below was done alone, but I led the process for us:
+ Audition production & casting
+ Show concept designer - see concept & visual guide HERE
+ Show Director
+ Photoshoot co-designer

12 Ophelias, a play with broken songs by Caridad Svich was my full-length Directorial debut. Our production included original songs by Lauren LoPiccolo, costumes by Nerissa Carillo, a performance in the round in the middle of a flowery candy-filled forest, and a big purple hand chair. We sold out the run. Our production process was incredibly collaborative, my lead in contributions listed below:
