“The works of the playwright are fascinating examinations of mankind.  Participating in bringing these works to life is not only a joy for me, but an experience, which I feel is vital and necessary for our communities. 


The exhibition, and examination of this living-breathing form of art is a means by which we might bridge our differences though empathy, understanding, and truth which emanates from the human heart. 


Perpetual study of my craft and participation in work on the stage, are gifts that reward me beyond measure.”
