I want you to feel what I felt.
I want you to know why story-truth is truer sometimes than happening-truth."
- Tim O'Brien

About me

As a theatre maker and collaborator, I am most interested in new work still in development, stories being shaped by our time. No matter how difficult the world gets, artists will keep making theatre. It’s a timeless and deeply human artform. I am most drawn to stories that put uncomfortable truths onstage that makes people squirm a little before they make them feel less alone. I’m particularly interested in centering these stories on women in all our wonderful diversity and complexity.
