MY PROMISE
My mission has always been to attach myself to projects with heart. Above all, a show must have the ability to tug at us all - so to speak. I've always been in awe of how theater stems from an idea and becomes a fully staged production. To me, that’s magic.
I want to be able to support the introduction to young audiences of the magic of theater. And I want to watch older audiences continuing to enjoy theater and also watch them impart the love of theater and arts to our youth. This is critical to the continued development and support of theater. Part of our mainstream!
