Director /Producer
Always a keen participant in the theatre and a natural leader, my directing debut was with the Genesian Theatre as an Assistant Director. From there, crash test drama - a short play competition - was my second outlet before directing and producing my own full length play, Black Rainbow. As my writing evolved into film, I directed and produced two short films of my own work. with a few still in development, as well as a film script that I will convert into a stage production. Then came my second original play Watch Me DAnce, followed by theatre and musical direction for community theatre where I hope there will be many more.
