In racking my brain for an answer to the question "Why theatre?" while working on my senior thesis, I realized: I'm an artist, where else would I go? That rings true, but there's more to it than that. I've always been observant and a deeply nostalgic person; one of the things that fascinates me the most is acknowledging the complexity and fleetingness of the human experience. We don't last forever but our stories can live on through to theatre, and it's an amazing thing to be a part of that. I love creating theatre with complex, grey characters and stories. I need theatre that's intelligent and gets my gears going. The chance to be a part of a story in a space that's buzzing with the energy of all those who have been there before gives me such a rush- I plan on seeking that rush as long as I can.
