I began producing as a way to direct the kind of work I was passionate about. I had so many incredibly talented friends whose work I found interesting, bold, and exciting, but without the contacts or knowledge to make production possible. I realized quickly that I could "kill two birds with one stone", so I stepped up, stepped in, and started producing, learning as much as I could through doing and making great strides along the way.
Since 2015, I have been the Producing Artistic Director of IndieWorks Theatre Company (formerly Calendar Boys Productions) where I have produced and executive produced over 20 theatrical projects, championing and fostering the development of new musicals and bringing them from page to stage. I’ve worked over several different disciplines from concerts and cabarets to readings and festival productions, an Off-Broadway musical, a musical film, and a 12-time award-winning musical theatre podcast series starring Broadway, West End, and Hollywood talent.
With a focus on musical theatre, I’ve had a hand in numerous shows in different stages of development. I’ve worked on classic musicals as well as original works in a variety of genres: musical comedies, dramas, psychosexual thrillers, short-form and episodic musicals, and have started dabbling into devised theatre.
In addition to my work with my own companies, I've served as a freelance Executive Producer for multiple productions of Casey Dressler's The Wedding Warrior, one-woman rom-com that has been performed internationally, as well as the hit Dungeons & Dragons-inspired improv show, The Campaign, a love letter to tabletop gaming and all things "nerd-dom" that had audience members clamoring for tickets in sold-out houses and would become an interesting test for "episodic theatrical experiences".
I still continue to look for projects, both independently and with IndieWorks, that provoke, challenge, excite, and entertain me, and that will give me, my artists, and my audience another reason to fall in love with the theatre all over again!
