I write for the theater.
My medium is everything available in the traditional theater (e.g. lighting, costumes, dialogue, sound) as well as non-traditional theatrical elements (e.g. movement, multimedia/video, puppetry, magical realism) to address burning issues of our times, e.g. Turtles and single mothers and Plank and individual rights and climate change.
My purpose for using non-traditional elements isn’t for the shock value, but for the way they force people to look at “familiar” things differently. I investigate the theater world in the same way painters—abstract expressionist, for example—explore and push the boundaries of the canvas, only instead of painting pictures, I’m telling stories by pushing the boundaries of the theater. I’m inspired by any artist who pushes the limits of their medium.
My vision is Alley Cat Theater, an inclusive theater that promotes and introduces Boston audiences to new, non-traditional work addressing today’s issues.
