This weekend is your last chance to see this moving production!

This is the final weekend to see A Moon for the Misbegotten. Only 3 days until the final showing!

The Hogan family is barely scraping by on their meager tenant farm in the years following the Great War and Spanish Flu pandemic. When Josie and her father, roughened by loss and the land, catch wind that their farm is at risk of being sold out from under them, they conspire to blackmail rich landowner Jim Tyrone. Moonshine flows, hearts spill, and truths reveal a powerful elegy of humanity, grief, and loneliness. Four-time Pulitzer Prize-winner and Nobel laureate Eugene O’Neill’s bittersweet A Moon for the Misbegotten “is singular within its author’s body of work for its forgiving spirit” (The New York Times).

Tonight we’re kicking off Opera Steamboat’s Summer Opera Festival with La Bohème! This massive show was definitely a challenge to put up in a festival setting, but it has been such a pleasure to work with this creative team and to get a deeper understanding of one of my favorite musicals, Rent. Here’s a sneak peek of our production, set in 1970’s San Francisco. You don’t want to miss this amazing performance tonight only!

Direction: David Toro
Stage Management: Lauren Cernik-Price
Scenic Design: Roger Hana
Costume Design: Madison Booth
Lighting Design: Emily A. Maddox

Fantastic interview with playwright Idris Goodwin and director Betty Hart by Eden Lane of Colorado Public Radio about Blackademics, my current show at Vintage Theatre. This was a challenging and truly important show to work on. I’m so glad I had the opportunity to help tell this wonderful, thought provoking story. This weekend is your last chance to see this incredible production. Don’t miss out on Blackademics!

In March 2020, Idris Goodwin was named the executive director of the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center. But just two years later, Goodwin — a playwright and arts leader — resigned from his post.

It’s the day of the show! Opera Steamboat’s production of The Barber of Seville has its one and only performance tonight. This show was so much fun to work on. Johnmichael Bohach always makes the most beautiful sets for me to light, Ann Louise Piano created amazing beautiful costumes, Emily Ann Pulley created a super fun concept and tons of hilarious moments, and Andres Cladera, as always, did an incredible job as our fearless leader! Thanks everyone for another wonderful summer in Steamboat Springs!

Today is the first day of tech for the first real show I've designed since January of 2020. The past 16 months have been immeasurably difficult. I had so many shows lined up last year that had to be canceled. So many unrealized designs. So many stories I didn't get to explore. It was difficult to set my career aside for so long. I missed the thrill of opening night, the sound of a live audience, even the menial task of mopping a stage. I missed my colleagues. My lightboard. My art. It’s so fitting that I get to jump back into live theatre with a show that focuses on the importance of music and art and their relationship to health and wellness. Today I get to start telling the story of The Man Who Mistook His Wife For a Hat. Today I get to create my art.
