Theatre Manager and Actor ​​

​​

I'm an actor at heart and an organizer by nature; it's a balance I've carried with me into every theatre I've entered. Whether I'm managing a house or a company of actors, or stepping briefly into the light myself, I honor the theatre's potential to gather, to witness to the human experience, and to move hearts and minds. 

​

Currently, I serve as the House Manager at Riverside Community Players in Riverside, California - a theatre-in-the-round continuously in operation since 1925 with a devoted patron base and staff. I'm proud to continue to be a part of its legacy, especially as a member of its Outreach Committee, working to bring theatre to communities that theatre has traditionally sidelined.

​

During the height of the Covid-19 Pandemic, I founded Unnamed Theatre Company, playing wherever a venue welcomed us. Our mission was to uplift and empower the voices of the unheard, the unattended to, and the undesired. 

​

Many may know me as their stage manager, where I find joy in the quiet leadership behind every production. Productions I've stage managed include Urinetown, COMPANY, and Guys and Dolls (Long Beach Playhouse); Death By Design (Newport Theatre Arts Center); Taming of the Shrew: Reverse (On the Edge Shakespeare); and James and the Giant Peach Jr., among others. 

​​​

I have a heart for actors: after all, I am one myself. I trained in Meisner, Chekhov, Uta Hagen, and Shakespeare. I carry that work in my body and voice. While I've chosen not to pursue acting as a profession, when the moment feels right, you may still find me returning to the stage. 

​​​

Selected acting credits include Metamorphoses, Blue Kettle, Life Without Parole (Vanguard University); Grief and Grizzly Bears (Spotlight Series at Riverside Community Players); Five Women Wearing the Same Dress (Modjeska Playhouse); Macbeth (On The Edge Shakespeare); and The Great Theatre of the World (Unnamed Theatre Company).
