Originally from Syracuse, NY, I'm a director, deviser, producer, and educator based in Canton, NY. I want to do some work when I walk into the theater. I prefer to piece together the story and make sense of a foreign world on stage, rather than sit back and watch something I already understand. I want my audiences to come to their own conclusions, to fill in the blanks. I want them to leave the theater wrestling with questions, but determined to find solutions.
I'm the co-founder and former Producing Artistic Director of Flashpoint Theatre Company, dedicated to producing socially provocative and emotionally resonant works. Now I create new work through my self-producing collective - The Antidote. Highlights include RED LODGE, MONTANA; THE CELEBRITY GUIDE TO MENTAL HEALTH AND WELLNESS; and GREAT AGAIN (Philadelphia Fringe Festival).
Currently I'm developing a solo show about the state of higher education in America, and I'm producing and co-hosting a music podcast on Spotify with Tyler Esselman called This One Goes to 11.
