Welcome to my online stage directing portfolio. I am the Artistic Director of Expanded Programs at Marin Theatre Company. MTC is my artistic home, but I will continue to seek freelance directing work in the Bay Area and beyond.
My Children! My Africa! closed its extended run at Marin Theatre Company on February 15. 
"...in the hands of three exceptional actors and a skilled director, one dedicated teacher's tragedy is a fierce reminder of the complexity of trying to right social wrongs"
The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe performed at schools around Marin and the Bay Area in February and March, in addition to an extended run of public performances at Marin Theatre Company.Thus, as Josh Costello, artistic director of expanded programs at Marin Theatre Company, says, it should be the responsibility of the larger theatres themselves to fill the gap, and, not incidentally, to provide for the next generation of theatre professionals and theatre audiences. "We have the skills, and we've got to give back to the community as best we can," he says.
...Costello says that as the recipient of arts education when he was in school, he knows firsthand that it enhances critical thinking and sensitivity to others. "In addition to the more obvious things, like learning to use your imagination, [theatre] is a powerful way to practice the skill of teamwork," he adds. "We as a society lose out when schools aren't addressing those needs."
Ubu for President (my adaptation of Ubu Roi directed by Patrick Dooley for the Shotgun Players at John Hinkle Park in Berkeley last summer) was named one of the top 10 productions of 2008 by the East Bay Express.
