Directing Credits

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.

Unearthing Paradise

Unearthing Paradise
“The most important book you’ll buy this year, or maybe any other. … Get it, pass it around, spread the word, let Unearthing Paradise be an awakening, not a swan song.” –Pete Fromm, author of If Not for This and Indian Creek Chronicles

Unearthing Paradise: Montana Writers in Defense of Greater Yellowstone is an effort to raise awareness and inspire activism regarding the need to protect wild lands of the greater Yellowstone ecosystem from extractive and destructive threats. Profits will be used to assist environmental organizations in their efforts to protect these lands. The project grew out of local efforts in Park County to stop two gold mining proposals at the northern gateway to Yellowstone, and includes poetry, essay and fiction by 32 Montana writers including Rick Bass, Tami Haaland, Doug Peacock and the late Jim Harrison. The book’s editors are Marc Beaudin, Seabring Davis and Max Hjortsberg. Terry Tempest Williams provides the foreword.

Available from Elk River Books, your local, independent bookstore or from the good folks at BookShop.org. Remember, friends don’t let friends shop Amazon.
