DIRECTING
I have been directing children's theatre for over 5 years. I recently had the opportunity to direct college students. I directed a short skit called Abbott & Costello by Jonathan Mayer for our Directors Showcase. I also directed a full production called The Serpent Lady by Carlo Gozzi for our Storefront Series, where I incorporated masks, music and songs, dances, puppetry and improv typical in traditional Commedia dell 'Arte productions.
