Remind everyone that
theatre is an event.
I am passionate about exploring the dynamic relationship between the audience and the playing space—seeking those rare, liminal moments where art fosters a true sense of immersion. This goes beyond pulling audiences on stage or breaking the fourth wall. It’s about creating a shared investment, a space where active participation transforms the experience. My work is rooted in crafting atmospheres that evoke instinctive, emotional, and intellectual responses—
I prefer that order.

Coax by Neil LaBute
Taken from LaBute's collection of short plays entitled Wrecks and other plays. Coax blurs the lines between what is just a play and what is reality. A person emerges from the audience, stands on stage, and explains that he is an actor but is meeting someone here tonight. He also explains that his plan is to murder this woman unless someone from the audience speaks up and warns her. Sure, you might feel silly speaking up in front of everyone, but what if it's actually real? Yes, it's a show, but does that mean it isn't real?
Jack & the Super-Duper Way Big Beanstalk by Jeff Jenkins
A new take on the old story of Jack and the Beanstalk, while utilizing elements of improv, Jack & the Super-Duper Way Big Beanstalk was an interactive show for younger audiences by adult actors. With plenty of inside jokes for older audience members, everyone has something/someone to laugh at. Produced through The Springfield Playhouse, a collaboration between the children's theatre and The Skinny Improv.
