The musical theater is a glorious and distinctly American innovation in the history of theater.

I'm always interested in working with people who are good team players - that are selfless that way in their interests and dedication to the project.

I knew ART was was going to give me this opportunity to expand my role as a director and finally let me have a seat at the table where I could get involved in these policy discussions and producing discussions and, frankly, the financial discussions.

Being a director, whether you're in rehearsal or you're in auditions or you're in a creative meeting, is so much to me about being present in the moment. There's a sense of time stopping.
