producer's statement
As a creative producer of theatre, I’ve been developing a year+ long commission model that uses devising practices plus new play development to provide custom support for our team of artists as they create a new work from idea through to full production. I’ve been refining this process since I started The Runaways Lab Theatre in January of 2013. Since 2013, I’ve also produced and directed galas, album release shows, ongoing series including a supper club, festivals for theatre and Instagram, and film. The heart of my process as a creative producer is engineering sustainable models that center people: artists and audiences. For artists, I work to give them what they need in terms of mutual respect, clear communication, accountability, and realistic schedules. For audiences, I combine the very best of hospitality, from my years working in the restaurant industry, and theatricality to create unforgettable, one of a kind experiences. My process as a creative producer also acknowledges the history of racism in this U.S. and is actively working to fight monolithic thinking, white supremacy, anti-Blackness, and play an active role in re-imagining an inclusive American cultural future.
