Producing Artistic Director • Director • Actor • Community Connector

Mission

I believe theatre should feel like coming home.

A place where people are welcomed fully, challenged thoughtfully, and reminded of their own capacity for wonder. My work lives where artistry meets community: building spaces where bold storytelling thrives, where artists feel truly supported, and where audiences return because they feel seen.

Whether producing, directing, or performing, my goal is simple: lead with care, create with integrity, and build the kind of theatre that changes people — even a little.
