I've directed The Man Who Couldn’t Dance and choreographed Evening of Creativity at PennWest California Theatre.
My production work includes dance captain roles for The SpongeBob Musical and Big Fish, makeup design for Trojan Women, and sound operation, stage management, makeup, and deck crew support across additional productions.
