"Run, don't walk, to Seattle Rep." —The Seattle Times
It’s opening night for the Cornley Polytechnic Drama Society’s production of the 1920s murder mystery Murder of Haversham Manor and from lights up the cast and crew are in an uphill battle to the final curtain. The set isn’t steady and neither are the actors as they trip over their lines, set pieces and a murder victim who has a hard time playing dead. In this uproarious comedy, anything that can go wrong, absolutely will… with fantastic flair!

Aside from that, I am currently on Faculty at The University of Portland, where I teach movement. I also just finished directing The Thanksgiving Play there and I'm very excited to find more directing gigs around town!
