Being the first in a new role comes with both responsibility and possibility. I see this residency as a chance to build a foundation that combines rigorous academic inquiry with hands-on, community-centered innovation.

It's a story about ... seeking a greater understanding of existence. I hope this musical inspires audiences to reflect on their own journey and the shared human search for meaning.

I knew I wanted to … foster an environment that could promote a safe space for people to get to know each other, feel safe and most importantly, at home.
