I take a lot of inspiration from the people I work with, and having many collaborators keeps me challenged and inspired.

It's an incredible privilege to be able to sit in front of a computer and spend a few hours just thinking and writing.

I take a lot of inspiration from the people I work with, and having many collaborators keeps me challenged and inspired.

My parents took me to shows starting when I was a very little kid. I remember seeing Henry IV at the Shakespeare Theatre in DC and our neighbor, who was playing Banquo, winked at me during the curtain call. I remember thinking "he can SEE ME?!" I was hooked from then. I wanted to be part of the place where you can escape the world, and also wink at it.

Theater and music are both collaborative media, and I think they're best when they combine different people's visions and aesthetics.

I love writing stories about regular people dealing with life's biggest questions.

The liveness of theater, and the excitement of experiencing it alongside an audience, is something you can't get at home. That makes the theater more vital than ever. It's definitely expensive, but I have faith that the market will keep recognizing the live experience as a valuable and important one.
