Hello world! This is what I look like (professional, tourist, actual). I am a Multidisciplinary Theatre Professional and I like to create performances based on classical and historical text! I also like to clown, direct, teach, play! I have an MFA in Applied Theatre/Education and I think about Shakespeare and Religion a lot. I live in Edmonton/amiskwaciwaskahikan with my darling wife, but have called Boston and San Francisco home too. Iโm currently writing a clown show about sexual assault in the Hebrew Bible! Wahoo!
