An Open Letter

I love creating something from a kernel of an idea—finding new, innovative ways to tell diverse stories that shine a light on those who are sometimes hidden in shadows. Developing the tone, voice, characters, mise-en-scene of a piece, etc. There’s a deep satisfaction in watching your work in a skilled actor’s hands; a mutual trust of the material. There is nothing like it.

That said, decency and a fiduciary responsibility are key elements to this moving and transformative work. The success lies in the process - always asking a thousand questions to clarify the vision and create innovation from page to stage and screen.

Diversity is very important to me. I would like to collaborate with theatremakers and difference-makers in the black diaspora and LGBTQ+ communities.
