One of the best parts of being in the arts is constantly finding new stories that remind me why I fell in love with storytelling in the first place. I’ve always believed that theatre — and art in general — is about empathy. It’s about understanding people who are different from us and finding pieces of ourselves in their stories.

I honestly don’t

As my first blog post, I thought the best way to start would be to introduce myself and explain why I’m writing this in the first place. I LOVE THEATRE! It is my passion and my first love. From acting to directing to spotlight operating to devising. There is not an area of theatre I haven’t fallen in love with (except marketing…).
