Theatre and opera were always the twin kingdoms that I felt I had to conquer, because they were my parents' favorites.

I've gotten to the point that I don't even know what tomorrow brings. When I'm teaching, obviously I'm in town for the class every week.

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

Theatre and opera were always the twin kingdoms that I felt I had to conquer, because they were my parents' favorites.

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

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.
