Directing Gone by Charles Mee as my mainstage debut with Crowded Fire in February 2008 was an incredibly exciting and challenging experience. I am eager for further collaborative work with the company, and I wanted to let you know about how you can support my work with the company!

Theater is a space for me to examine the relationship between bodies in space, questions of representation, and rich emotional landscapes of love, loss, and longing. I am interested in exploring poetic and literary texts on stage, and at Crowded Fire, we are dedicated to contemporary experimental plays that often have a political resonance. As part of my work on the Literary Committee, I read dozens of plays by some of the country's most promising emerging playwrights every month, and I am grateful to be part of a theater that seeks out innovative and potent work.

Crowded Fire is an important artistic home for me in the Bay Area; I am supported and challenged by my fellow resident artists who value my voice and offer me a space to workshop and produce my work. As a young director it is essential for me to be able to take risks and grapple with performance that is unearthed from a collaborative ensemble driven approach— at Crowded Fire, I am given the tools I need to grow and learn as a theater artist.
