Playwriting
For many theatres, finding content and seasons that keep the audiences coming back can be a struggle. I have a tendency to work backwards when it comes to playwriting. My first approach is looking at the market to see what is missing, what the producers and audiences are thirsty for, and then creating content to match the needs.
Previous works include Adaptations of 'The Snow Queen,' and 'Chronicles of Narnia'. As well as original pieces, 'Fred & Ginger,' 'Paris,' 'Company B,' and 'Jump in the Line: A Tribute to Harry Belafonte.' To learn more, contact me!
'She is at the top of her game, and always has her eye on the prize! You will not get the cookie-cutter production when she writes or directs. Best director to come along since Sally Cookson!'

Directing
At the end of a production, quite often people wonder how they got there. Not with me at the helm. My leadership in steering cast and crew to the finished product of a wonderful show, is always done with grace and confidence.
I have faced a multitude of erratic circumstances ( as most directors in theatre have) and done so with standing ovations.
Previous productions include, 'The Woman In Black,' 'Caution: Men At Work Tap', ' Hats! The Musical', as well as ' Jump in the Line: A Tribute to Harry Belafonte.'
