What is your current project? This Sinking Island

Where are you performing your show and why is it a good fit for your production?

University Settlement. Small spaces are good for telling intimate stories and can utilized in a lot of ways that huge ones can’t. You have the audience in the palm of your hand and can pull them in a lot easier.

What’s next for you?

Not sure! Hoping to continue building up credits as an Assistant Director.

What is the name of the last show you saw?

A festival of plays about black life in South Dallas.

Any advice for your peers?

Artist of color are often times forced to fight for a seat a table that doesn’t seem interested in what we have to say. Remember, that eventually, that table will belong to us.
