High School aged production by Stages Bloomington
Waldron Arts Center Auditorium
October 6-8, 2023

Stages’ production marks the 25th anniversary of gay university student Matthew Shepard’s brutal hate-driven murder. In a moment where hate crime, homophobia, and anti-LGBTQ legislation is on the rise, our production seeks to draw the line from that lightning rod event to the urgency of the issues we face today.

KY Shakespeare (2019-2020)

Artist Educator

During the 2019-2020 school year, I toured the state of Kentucky, parts of Indiana and Ohio, as an Artist Educator with the Kentucky Shakespeare Festival. It was an extraordinary opportunity to teach and play with learners of all ages, skill and ability levels, and explore a state with great traditions! When the pandemic cut our touring schedule short, we quickly adapted to offer virtual programs. Below are photos from Two Actor Hamlet, Shakespeare Alive, Living History: We The People, and Living History: Kentucky History, as well as from workshops I led, and segments from virtual content I created.
