Directing Projects

Here's a slice of some of my work as a director. You'll notice a lot of new plays, reimagined classics, and a hefty amount of buoyancy and joy.

Per Gint: A Sort-of-Adaptation of Peer Gynt
George Brown Theatre School, 2022

Photo of actors on a dramatically lit stage. One actor is running from the others, who have weapons drawn and are angry. A narrator narrates.

An actor stands against a purple background. Against the background, we see four silhouettes: three actors pretending to be birds, and one sitting, relaxed.

An actor speaks to the audience while others re-create The Sphinx.

An actor looks alarmed at another actor whose arms are threaded through a ladder like a vest.

Three actors enter carrying a ladder horizontally like a boat. Another actor stands on chairs, gazing out, while another narrates.

Actors create a forest and house with their bodies, a ladder, and chairs.

Two actors lie on the ground as others hover over them in shock.

A dimly lit scene where actors make a house, and an old woman with her son scold Per Gint

An actor tries to convince another to help him.
