I believe that theatre is the art of sharing the experience of living truthfully, in the moment, within imaginary circumstances. My goal as a director is to collaboratively guide everyone involved with the production toward an authentic, unified and creative vision that allows this “living truthfully” to occur. As theatre artists, we dig deeply into the mysteries of human experience and emerge with more mysteries. Questions are more important than answers. And I believe we must develop ways of asking these questions with clarity, harmony and great passion. The answers are then found in the imagination and emotional reality of each audience member.
