Different people and companies approach the production of theater in radically different ways: some see it as a business, some as a pastime, and others as a faith. I am a practitioner of that third kind of theater, that believes that through the ritual of live storytelling we make ourselves vulnerable to the liminality of living, and open ourselves to the grace that it affords us; the power to change, the power to do better.

I believe theater is a deeply collaborative process, and the role of the director is that of a communicator, one who can facilitate a network of artists to collaborate across diverse personalities and imaginations to shepherd forward the common and collective vision of the play, founded on a bedrock of dramaturgy and grown with love and enthusiasm.
