About
My work is motivated by a desire to nurture creative collaborations built on transparency and mutual respect, and to create/build things that have a positive impact on the world.
As a creative producer I have found that I am motivated first and foremost by creators themselves. I’ve spent the past 15 years investing in and developing relationships with theatremakers whose work and approach to making it inspire me. I want to work with good people to create art that makes us proud, and more often than not that art is driven by music. (In development: a musical adaptation of "Water for Elephants" written by Rick Elice and PigPen Theatre Co.; “Sovereignty Hymn” by the Bengsons; “We Aren’t Dreaming Anymore” by Drew Gasparini.)
I ventured into talent management when my relationship with composer Drew Gasparini naturally evolved from occasional producer to daily advisor. My management business is intentionally boutique, born of other similarly meaningful collaborations with multi-hyphenate artists who have identified the need for dedicated producing and/or strategic support in their careers.
My third passion is teaching. In addition to founding The Business of Broadway to educate artists about the business of the business, I am an Adjunct Professor at Berklee College of Music, NYU Steinhardt and NYU Tisch, and have taught courses at Barnard College and Drexel University.
In my role as Board Chair of Colt Coeur, a small but mighty off-Broadway theatre company, I have had the privilege of working with Adrienne Campbell-Holt (Artistic Director) in varying capacities for over 10 years. I am deeply proud to know CoCo’s ever-growing community of next generation theatremakers, and to experience and support what I think is impeccable programming.
My primary medium is theatre, but I have enjoyed following artists and changemakers wherever their dreams take me - which thus far has included music, film, podcast, and reparations-based work.
