My work exists to bring new stories from the page to the public, and to make the process of getting there as generous and collaborative as the stories themselves.
The projects in this fundraising each sit at a different point in that journey.
What ties these together is a belief that new work is made in the room. Readings, workshops, and rehearsals are where writers hear their words out loud, where actors and directors discover what a piece wants to be, and where an audience helps a story become itself. I direct with that spirit: curious, rigorous, and open to surprise.
Support for this work pays artists fairly for their time, so writers, actors, and designers can commit fully to development. It covers rehearsal space and the basic resources independent projects often go without.
Ultimately, I want my storytelling to feel immediate, human, and open to anyone who wants to show up. Every project here is an invitation to that: new voices, new forms, and the shared experience of a story told live.
