Clare Barron’s explosive off-Broadway smash kicks off Olney Theatre Center’s 2022-23 season! In this Pulitzer Prize finalist, about a tweenage dance team from Liverpool, Ohio, more is at stake than a first-place trophy. It's a play about the puberty years, but leave the kids at home — adult actors of all ages portray the adolescent girls (and one boy) amidst their tween confusion, as well as their future adult selves. As the competition heats up, literal fangs come out, and the blood, sweat, and tears get very real in a drama about friendship, rivalry, and girls becoming women.

INK By James Graham Directed by Jason Loewith August 30 – September 24, 2023 A co-production with Olney Theatre Center London, 1969. A brash young Australian named Rupert Murdoch approaches journalist Larry Lamb with a staggeringly ambitious proposition: to turn the struggling paper The Sun into the best-selling tabloid in the UK…within a year. An unexpected partnership is born as Lamb and Murdoch assemble a team of scrappy underdog journalists and begin to transform The Sun into a populist juggernaut. Once they discover the formula to success the consequences are thrilling and terrifying. This “riveting” (The Guardian) Tony Award-winning Broadway and West End hit depicts the birth of our hyper-partisan news culture in a truth-is-stranger-than-fiction drama that will have you on the edge of your seat.

UCSD Muir Musical - Spring 2017 This reel contains clips of the Spring Awakening production I directed my senior year of college. I reimagined the world of the musical by adding a lyrical dance ensemble to mirror and convey the subconscious of the characters. Through this experience, I was given a space to take artistic risks while also discovering how to be a leader and collaborator in a theatrical space. This is one of my favorite pieces I have ever worked on and I would love to further discuss my style and approach.
