My entire career, up to this point, has been dedicated to serving and developing my passion for arts education. As early as High School, I was drawn to both leadership and the arts. Young as I was at the time, I knew that I wanted to share the magic and the power of theater with as many people as possible – and I watched it change the lives of the inner city kids whom I have directed in some of my first theater productions. I went on to try my hand at writing for film and theater, producing talent, teaching theater at conservatories across the country, and offering my services as a judge and a motivational speaker at various international arts events, while leading the education department of Tony Randall's National Actors Theater for over twenty classical productions over eight years.

  • AIDS Care Nurse's Life Is Rendered in Comic-Book Form
    COMEDY/ TRAGEDY VOL 32, NO. 26 MARCH 15, 2017 AIDS care nurse’s life is www.WindyCityMediaGroup.com rendered in comic-book form BY GREtcHEN RACHEL HAMMOND For most people who have spent even a short stretch as a patient in a hospital ward, the nurse is the most important person in their lives. Doctors and residents often spend a few perfunctory emotionally distant minutes, usually in the early morning, and family and friends come and go until, in many hospitals, they are barred completely in the evening hours. The nurse isn’t just an avenue to medication, a wash or help in the middle of the night when the IV machine inevitably shocks one out of sleep with a shrieking alarm. They are a desperately needed reminder of one’s humanity in an isolated and antiseptic world, filled only with the omnipresent hissing and electronic language of its machinery barely drowned by the banal drone of daytime television.

  • Macbeth-Webfinal-July.Pdf
    JULY 2016 WELCOME It’s been over a decade since The Old Globe last invited audiences to journey into the dark heart of Shakespeare’s Macbeth. So it’s a particular pleasure to return this summer to this most masterful and murderous play. Throughout 2016, the year that marks the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare’s death, theatres around the world are paying tribute to the Bard with a wide array of festivals, celebrations, and other international events—and the Globe is no exception. In addition to our annual Summer Shakespeare Festival, the Globe threw a special Shakespeare birthday bash in April, and we were honored to be chosen to co-host the only stop in California for First Folio! The Book DOUGLAS GATES that Gave Us Shakespeare, a national Managing Director Michael G. Murphy and Erna Finci Viterbi Artistic Director Barry Edelstein. traveling exhibition organized by the Folger Shakespeare Library. That exhibition has given San Diego residents a rare chance to see, in person, a copy of the first published edition of Shakespeare’s collected plays, printed in 1623. Indeed, without the First Folio, 18 of Shakespeare’s plays might have been lost forever—including The Tempest, Twelfth Night, and the very play you are here to see tonight: Macbeth. To helm this production of Shakespeare’s so-called “Scottish Play,” we’re delighted to welcome Artistic Director of New York’s Classic Stage Company, Brian Kulick. A renowned American Shakespearean—and a Southern Californian—Brian is at last making his Globe debut. His deft hand with the Bard and keen insights into dramatic literature (no less than Tony Kushner has proclaimed that Brian has “the finest mind in the American theatre”) will make for a thrilling night of theatre.
