I like hearing and telling stories. Most of my younger years were spent making strange theatre (i.e. creating dramatic scenes for the Planned Parenthood theatre troupe I started or making The Crucible into a movement piece).
As a grown lady, I now like to take those strange stories and tell them in unique, connective ways. I write, direct, produce, and edit projects for stage and video. I have a passion for creating with quirk, curiosity, and ethic. Currently, I am focused on messages that make the world, and the people in it, more empathetic.
Outside of the video content that’s found throughout this site, I direct The Joshua Show. An internationally touring family musical comedy extravaganza that has performed at some of the most prestigious art centers across the U.S. The Boston Globe called it a, “modern day Mister Rodgers with hipster appeal”.
I’m always on the lookout for new collaborators. If you are too, let me know!
