Selected Projects
GOOD COMPANY THEATRE, Co-Director, 2012-present
​
Good Company Theatre develops and promotes high-quality, eclectic theatrical productions and events, forging new relationships between audiences, performers, and spaces in the process.
Utah's only Black-owned and administrated producing theatre. As co-director, there are myriad ways my involvement manifests that aren't so glamorous. I won't list them here. I focus on grant writing, graphic design, photography, and the production of all marketing materials. In the past, I designed sound and some sets for shows. I also draft scripts for all GCT original productions.
