I am extremely pleased to announce that I am now a full time faculty member at LaGuardia Community College in Queens, NY.  LaGuardia is a CUNY college, City University of New York, the 2nd largest school system in the US.  I am a faculty member in the humanities department and we are just launching our new theatre major this spring.  I and am extremely grateful for this new opportunity! 

This November, I directed LaGuardia students in Neil LaBute's, The Shape of Things, which was a great success on many levels.  I collaborated with the art and photography departments and used mostly all students in as many capacities as I could.  The highlight of my experience was watching my student actors progress before my eyes.  I was definitely the proud director this fall! 

In January, I head down to Key West FL to direct Sarah Ruhl's, Dead Man's Cell Phone at the Waterfront Playhouse.  I have cast the show and I am ready to start jumping into rehearsals!  I am very excited to work on this unique play with such a talented cast in my version of paradise.  Key West in January!  More please!! 

Upon my return to NYC in February, I will go into rehearsals for the long awaited production of Heathens, by Heather Hill!  We will open March 1-18 at Theatre for the New City.  This venture is one I have been investing much time and energy into.  It is sure to be a good one!

Stay Tuned! 

Big thank you to my family and friends who have helped me manifest my dreams.
