I ended 2025 as part of the Westcoast Black Theatre Troupe's production of Purlie! After directing all summer, it was fun to trod the boards again in this classic musical.
In 2024 I was part of the incredible ensemble of A Soldier's Play, directed by Chuck Smith at Sarasota's Westcoast Black Theatre Troupe. -Westcoast Black Theatre Troupe -Live Theater
Here's a promo for the play- https://www.mysuncoast.com/video/2024/01/26/soliders-play-runs-thru-feb-18-wcbtt-suncoast-view-jan-26-2024/
In July 2024 , I travelled to Melbourne, Australia to work with 45Downstairs and present the moving chamber opera, Two Remain. This was a joint venture with Nightingale Opera Theatre International. We then presented the piece in Cleveland, Ohio in September 2024.
