I am currently in my second year of the Masters of Letters program in Shakespeare and Performance at Mary Baldwin College. My thesis work is on Margaret of Anjou and productions of Shakespeare's first tetralogy on the modern stage. This work will culminate with a performance in February 2013.
In 2011, I founded my own company, Brave Spirits Theatre, with fellow Shakespeare aficionado Victoria Reinsel. Brave Spirits is dedicated to bringing fresh, energetic productions of the works of William Shakespeare and other early modern playwrights to the Washington, D.C. region. Being total Shakespeare geeks, our company has a strong focus on text work, audience interaction, and an actor-driven process. We launched with two productions, The Two Gentlemen of Verona, and my one-woman show What, Lamb! What, Ladybird!. Our 2012 production was Richard III. This coming summer Victoria and I will be expanding on the groundwork we laid with What, Lamb! What, Ladybird! with a full production of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet.
