Directing

I find directing a play to be the most fulfilling of creative endeavors. Building a world from the ground up with a team of like-minded individuals? Theatre nirvana.

I am not one for rote regurgitation of scripts, preferring to direct plays that allow for exciting choices in acting, design, and theme.
