Iolanthe (July 2025)
“It is inventively staged and enormously funny.”
“Surely this is the most beguiling production seen in Houston in months.”
“If in need of an afternoon or night of pure entertainment and wicked wit, trust me, do yourself a favor: there’s nothing better than Iolanthe.”
—D.L. Groover, Houston Press
Hi, it’s nice to meet you.
I’m a creative who, over the last decade, branched out beyond the traditional ‘sing/dance/act’ formula. While I still do that, I now primarily work ‘on the other side of the table’ to direct and choreograph theatre and opera across the country. I started using my free time to write musicals, and that grew legs, too. I’m immersed in the world of creative and performing arts, and I can’t wait to share it with you.
I believe storytelling is at the heart of our human experience. At their best, stories impart a truth. They’re strong enough to connect people across social divisions, yet gentle enough to impart ideas and lessons without committing harm. When we perform a theatrical work, we have the opportunity to add our own voices—our own perspectives and societal context—to it. Theatre becomes an intergenerational and intercultural conversation. I believe the way we tell stories will be one of the greatest agents of change in our society's future.
