the work history exhausts me.
I’ve worked in a variety of capacities in theatre and design in NYC since 2006. The following encapsulates the most important stuff, or at least, the most important stuff to me — the work listed here highlights where I made all the mistakes / did all the learning.
Most of this humbling work education happened at Music Theatre International where I’ve worked for more than a decade in a variety of positions. We market ourselves and the show brands entrusted to our care with joyous, energetic empathy, and we honor the act of rebellion + freedom that is the making of theatre every single day.
