I am a director, actor, producer, non-profit owner, and happy to be the Chair for Musical Theater with Region 1. My interest has always been in found-space theater and passion projects. Building props and costumes out of random materials we already have, turning a space into something completely unrecognizable - it brings me so much joy to see the creativity that can be conjured up when faced with low budgets or minimal materials (though I'll never refuse a budget expansion if you're offering)! KCACTF remains a creative outlet for me outside of putting on an actual production, where I can still flex my directing/producing muscles in the development of the conference each year, and surround myself with passionate artists who come from so many different environments. Organization and leadership excite me tremendously!
