Art is a reflection of humanity that leads to illumination and growth for audience & artists.

This is what I strive for in my Art making. Creating space for revelation, inspiring empathy, sparking conversation that supports action to make change.

I am thrilled to be part of the founding team of the glorious new theatre space in the Highland Park neighborhood of Los Angeles:

OUTSIDE IN THEATRE

We support and produce primarily world premiere or new to Los Angeles work under our three pillars of Scripted, Unscripted and Digital work. Plus classes and workshops! With two performance spaces - the ArtSpace and the ArtBox - and a beautiful lobby with a full bar that is open whenever we have shows and you don’t need a ticket to enjoy the community.

Come through whenever you’re in the neighborhood!

For current programming or to join our mailing list to stay up to date on what’s coming click HERE

I look forward to welcoming you to our beautiful space!!

  • And I HIGHLY recommend this podcast, I want everyone to listen to it. SEEING WHITE is a 14 part documentary series exploring whiteness in America - where it came from, what it means and how it works. Please take a listen when you can and pass it on when you're done. It's essential for Americans, particularly white Americans. 

  • Check out this fantastic ARTICLE about SITI Company as the company comes to a graceful end. Very proud to be part of this process as the Chair of their Board of Directors.

  • Sibyl Wickersheimer and Maureen Weiss have curated & created this amazing book, SCENE SHIFT, of femme identifying Scenic Designers in conversation with each other. The conversations are frank and honest about design, career, living an artists life and how to create your own path as a scenic designer. Totally inspiring! Anyone making theatre needs to buy and gift this book to other theatre makers and, especially, theatre departments. Info is HERE

  • Keep an eye on THE KILROYS’ website for new ways to find more plays by women, trans & non-binary playwrights!
