DIRECTING

This gallery contains photos of my previous directing projects. Many of these photos were taken by Jared Tseng, a photographer based in Central Texas. Visit his website for more information. http://www.jaredtseng.com/

As a director, I really focus on bringing the best out of my actors and helping them grow. As a teacher, the rehearsal space becomes an extension of my classroom. I endeavor for passion, diversity, and inclusivity on and behind the stage. Each section below comes with description of the project and/or production. Click on the photos below to find out more about the shows, including casts and designers.
