Playwrights I LOVE

Dramaturgy and Directing

As a director and dramaturg, my passion is new play development. I approach the process with the ultimate goal of helping a play be its best self and helping a playwright learn what that is. I aim to serve as an illuminator of the play, and I strive to value questions over answers in collaborative process.

I am interested in visceral plays that aim to bring the audience inside of a feeling. I want to work on plays that toy with form, style, and hover in spaces beyond realism that can help us better understand who we are and how we feel not necessarily (or only) by “holding the mirror up to nature,” but by holding up a funhouse mirror and working to recognize parts of yourself in it.
