What is your role on the board?
Director at Large and head of both the Sales and Play Selection Commissions 

What is your involvement with theatre? Do you act, direct, watch shows?
I’ve been acting since 1995. I love to go to the theatre, though alas it can be hard to find the time. I haven't directed anything in years, but it is next on my list!


​What made you want to serve on the Board of Directors for Theatre 121?
I love the theatre, and loved working with both WMTC and TSP in the past, and I wanted to help this new theatre company gain its footing, establish a direction, and grow.

What do you like best about being on the Board?
It’s such a passionate and diverse group of people who bring so many different approaches and so much combined experience to Theatre 121. Being able to work with them all and see how they operate is a real learning experience.

In your opinion, what makes Theatre 121 special?
The absolute love, dedication, and passion everyone involved has for live theater and what makes it so different from other forms of entertainment. Having come from TSP and WMTC, Theatre 121 inherits a history of wonderful people who take theater very seriously and bring an incredible level of professionalism and talent to everything they do.

Outside of serving on the Board, what do you do? 
Mostly perform. I’m a singer, actor, and instrumentalist. I enjoy reading, board games, card games, puzzles, and building things as well.

What is a fun fact that not many people know about you?
I am, surprisingly, incredibly shy and have nearly completely debilitating stage fright!
