Hailing from the suburbs of Philadelphia, I am a petite Jewish artist-activist currently based in Rockford, IL (home of the Rockford Peaches - yes, from A League of Their Own!). I strive to use theatre as a vehicle for positive social change. I currently work as an Assistant Professor of Musical Theatre at Rockford University. ​

 

I spent 9 years working as an actor, director, choreographer, and teaching artist in Philly, before heading to the Arizona desert to get my MFA in Directing from Arizona State University. 

​

I am most passionate about socially conscious theatre, which I define as theatre that engages with social issues - whether it be racial justice, LGBTQ+ rights, immigration reform, climate change, or other social justice topics.

As Augusto Boal, founder of Theatre of the Oppressed says, let's "rehearse for the revolution!"
