Directing Into the Woods at Stanford University's Music Dept.

I wish…

I'm thrilled to share a meaningful milestone: my directorial debut with Stanford University's Music Department production of 'Into the Woods.' After months of dedicated preparation and collaboration, watching opening night this past weekend come to life was simply magical.

The incredible student performers, alongside our exceptional creative team including Marie-Louise Catsalis, Benjamin Liupaogo, Chris Beer, Kevin Davies, Samantha Schroeter, Shannon Ding and Catherine Lucia Sarca , brought this beast of a show to the stage in ways that went beyond my wildest hopes. BRAVI to all!

This leadership journey has taught me so much about creative direction and my own management style. The experience of guiding this production has been transformative, both professionally and personally, and I’m feeling particularly grateful for the chance to try something big and new that put me so wholly in FLOW. 

Thank you to everyone who supported this creative project - and I’m looking forward to more ahead!
