Work:

“I love to balance the discipline of our form with just plain playing. You can’t really find true character  unless you know how to play…I like to play a lot in class, but I also expect a lot in return.”

Personal:

“I was an actor first, then I started directing and then I started teaching. I’m also a native Michigander, so for me, this is coming home.
