Directing Portfolio/Student Work Samples
Here is a sampling of my work as a director and a few snapshots of my students' theater work.
The Caribbean Odyssey
This is an original musical produced in collaboration with El Puente at MS 50 that uplifts a narrative about environmental justice. Students participated in the creative process through contributing to the script, lyrics, and theatrical design. Photography credit to Nate Stripp.
Student Produced Project
As a final project, students were tasked with selecting a source materials, adapting their source material and creating an original piece of theater. They led the creative process from start to finish. What you see here is a sampling of their final projects.
