Creative Producer

Producing 2

—I believe sharing stories is truly the only remaining beacon for finding our common humanity in a time of darkness.

My producing work includes cross-disciplinary projects for a wide-range of artistic collaborators and companies from small, grassroots to large cultural institutions. I have championed staging reminagined classics, musicals that elevate emerging musicians and dancers and new work for multi-generational audiences. I have supported artistic innovation in theatrical film and virtual platforms in response to the pandemic, maintaining work for local and national artists. Recent collaborators include Manual Cinema, Human Pictures, Rep StL, Academy of Classical Acting at STC.
