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.

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.

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

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

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

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

The idea of making audiences feel like they matter, that the theatre matters, and that they're a partner in the event—that's what fuels me as a director . . . I believe it's actually radical to think about the audience.
