I am excited and proud to join Astoria Performing Arts Center as Artistic Director and to begin my tenure with this fall’s production of Cody Daigle’s In The Bones. Cody and I are longtime collaborators, and I am grateful for the chance to share his work and this powerful story with you.

As a New York City native and resident of Astoria, I am at home at APAC. I look forward to applying my experience as a director, producer, and curator to my new role, and I’m excited to meet and work with APAC’s community of artists, both longtime and new.I have been an enthusiastic APAC audience member for several years, and I have learned through experience that this company is defined by its high caliber productions and its engagement with the Queens community. I am eager to carry on these traditions and to steer the company during its next phase of growth. I hope to create more opportunities for artists and community members, develop adventurous and stellar productions, cultivate new voices and bring new stories to the theater. I am thrilled to be joining forces with Erin, Annie, Katie, and all of you to make that happen.I am excited to meet you at performances for In The Bones (now through 11/22) and to get to know you during the course of this season and beyond.See you at the theater!
