Actor, playwright, producer, pebble on the pond
I'm a New York based maker of theatre and film. As Producing Artistic Director of not-for-profit Hard Sparks, I help to develop adventurous new plays for a diverse New York audience. We have been nominated for eleven NYIT Awards (and won one) and have presented in some of Manhattans best independent venues. As an activist and advocate, I support indie theatre, political art, education for girls and the empowerment of women, and clean water initiatives for undeserved populations.
