Baltimore City
Originally from Minnesota, I am a freelance theater director and artist currently living
and working in Baltimore. The plays that I enjoy most are uncanny, sensitive,
and alluring. I like to create mind-dwelling stories. I have directed, produced and stage managed throughout the Midwest
including Cedar Rapids, Minneapolis, and Milwaukee. Since moving to
Baltimore in 2017, I have worked with theaters like the Acme Corporation,
Single Carrot, Chesapeake Shakespeare Company, Silver Spring Stage,
Baltimore Rock Opera Society and more. I am also a co-founder and
Theater Producer of Truepenny Projects, a small and independent arts
organization in Baltimore.
