I recently had the honor working with
photographer Brian James
on a powerful photo series he's creating, entitled

on a powerful photo series he's creating, entitled
The Divided States of America
The series photographically alludes to major issues our country is currently grappling with. I find Brian's work particularly poignant because these issues are so often
difficult to encompass in words -
yet somehow their essence is powerfully summed up
in these images.
For a sneak-peak,
here are two photos from the shoot that I got my hands on
just in time for the November elections.

Honored and excited to join the ranks of the
Pacific Conservatory Theatre
and the Pacific Conservatory of the Performing Arts
as their newest Resident Artist and Faculty Member.
 |  |  |
PCPA is a truly rare organization
and the embodiment of the mentor/apprentice model.
The Resident Artists serve as Faculty for the Conservatory during the day, and then they act along side their students (who serve as as understudies, ensemble members, and in supporting roles) in the professional productions.
I will be teaching Shakespeare for the Conservatory
and serving as a Resident Artist in the Company for the Professional Theatre.
(including a fabulous Summer Season of outdoor theatre in beautiful Solvang, CA)
This "unicorn*" opportunity allows me to utilize all my theatrical passions:
act, teach, sing, dance, direct, mentor, dramaturg
And it's in the Central Coast of California. In wine country. Close to the Ocean.
So. Come visit.
