Summer 2011
 |
Worked as the associate director (and did much of the staging) on the new musical by the amazing team of Greg Kotis and Mark Hollman (Urinetown fame!) called YEAST NATION (the triumph of life) in the NY Fringe Festival. Starring the incredible Harriet Harris the show had a completely sold out run and has high hopes of continuing very soon. Very proud of this piece and the work that we did for this production. | |
Spring 2011
 |
Was the associate director for the full scale production of Armistead Maupin's Tales of the City the musical that premiered in San Francisco at the American Conservatory Theatre. Worked alongside director Jason Moore (Ave Q, Shrek) and the incredible writing team of Jeff Whitty (Tony for Ave Q), John Garden and Jake Shears of the glam rock band the Scissor Sisters. An incredible experience, show and creative process. Fingers crossed the piece has more life in the future. | |

Very much looking forward to returning to the west coast in the spring to help mount this show in a fully staged production starring Betty Buckley. This show is going to take the Bay Area by storm! |
