CURRENT PROJECT: JULIUS CAESAR
Now that I've wrapped production on As One with Opera Memphis, I'm diving right in at Tennessee Shakespeare Company as the stage manager for Julius Caesar. Timely, wouldn't you say?
When I'm not in rehearsals I have several projects in development in a variety of genres. I'll share more when they're ready for eyes!
NEW PLAY ALERT: TWO LADIES OF VERMONT
NEW PLAY ALERT: DOCTOR VOYNICH AND HER CHILDREN
NEW SHORT PLAY: MOXI & SIRNA
