I am honored to officially announce that I have accepted a new position at Pacific Conservatory Theatre - PCPA, as the new Literary Associate & Hurlbert Artistic Fellow.
In addition to continuing my current work as a Resident Artist (acting, directing, and teaching), I now serve on the Artistic Team, provide dramaturgical support, oversee PCPA's annual InterPlay Reading Series, help in season selection, provide text analysis, work on new adaptations, mentor Dramaturgy interns, and will lead talkbacks and preshow discussions for productions, readings and workshops. I could not be more excited to contribute to PCPA in this deeply fulfilling way, while getting to continue my role as a Resident Artist. Check out Pacific Conservatory Theater for up-coming exciting happenings and how we're getting our Literary leanings on.

photographer Brian James
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.
