Theatre Artist
As a director, I most recently staged Mr. Burns: A Post Electric Play by Anne Washburn, The Force of Habit by Guillén de Castro, and In the Next Room (or, the vibrator play) by Sarah Ruhl at Puget Sound. Past favorite directing projects include Steven Sater and Duncan Sheik’s musical of Spring Awakening, Sarah Ruhl’s Eurydice, Shakespeare’s Love’s Labors Lost, Timberlake Wertenbaker’s Our Country’s Good, Susanna Centlivre’s Bold Stroke for a Wife, and Caryl Churchill’s Blue Heart. Off campus, she collaborates with Northwest Playwrights Alliance for readings, workshops, and festivals focused on new plays.
