ARTISTIC LEADERSHIP / ABOUT

Artistic Identity
I’m an artistic leader working at the intersection of programming, producing, and directing. My work focuses on building theater that is both immediate and intentional—where new work, reimagined classics, and audience-driven experiences exist in conversation with one another.

Milwaukee Repertory Theater
In my current role as Artistic Producer and Casting Director at Milwaukee Repertory Theater, I contribute to season planning, oversee casting across the full season, and produce work in all three of our spaces. My work sits inside both the creative and operational life of the institution, requiring a constant balance between artistic ambition, audience engagement, and the practical realities of production.

Institutional Growth
Over the past several years, that work has unfolded during a period of significant institutional growth, including an $81 million capital campaign and the reshaping of Milwaukee Rep’s theater complex. Being inside that process has deepened my interest in how artistic choices, infrastructure, and audience all move together.

Programming + Producing Philosophy
The field has shifted toward a more adaptive and less fixed model. What once felt temporary has become an ongoing condition—one that requires continual reassessment of how we build, produce, and engage. I’m interested in programming that reflects that reality: seasons that hold multiple entry points at once, where a revival can sit alongside new work and both feel necessary.

Organizational Leadership
Before moving fully into the field, I spent several years in executive leadership overseeing organizational strategy, staffing, and operations. That experience continues to inform how I approach artistic work—grounding decision-making in sustainability, clarity, and long-term institutional thinking.

Looking Forward
I’m drawn to organizations that are actively asking what theater can be now: how it gathers people, how it responds to its city, and how artistic ambition can live inside sustainable institutional practice.
