The musical theater is a glorious and distinctly American innovation in the history of theater.

My generation of director has no illusions that we are going to be fed and cared for by subsidized theater in America.

Opera is the ultimate art form. It has singing and music and drama and dance and emotion and story.

When you're a freelance director, you are hired to create the art, and it kind of stops there.

I don't want to be in an art bubble.

Im always interested in working with people who are good team players - that are selfless that way in their interests and dedication to the project.

As a director, I never feel that I have the answers.
