I had this epiphany that I like the interaction with people. I wanted to make things happen at a grassroots level.

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

Art cannot be looked at as an elite, sacred event anymore. It has to be embraced as an accessible, popular form, which is what I believe theater is at its roots.

I grew up with a beautiful gold harp sitting in our living room. My older sister played it.

Creativity is a form of knowledge.

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

At the core of what I'm doing is a belief in the audience, a belief that populism doesn't mean dumbing down theater, but rather giving the audience a voice and a role in experiencing theater.
