What's been inspiring you as an artist?
I have felt re-invigorated by my last two productions, both at Long Beach Playhouse. I had incredible casts and crews and we created magic in a comparatively difficult performance space.

Who are or were your theatrical heroes?
My late brother-in-law, David Roster, taught me most of what I know about directing.

What kind of theatre excites you?
I love to get ahold of a production that seems impossible to mount. If it scares me, I'm happy.

Outside of a theatre, what's your favorite hot spot in Orange County?
I'm old...I don't do hotspots.

What advice do you have for theatre artists just starting out in Orange County?
Be careful what you choose to work on. It's better to not work than to sour your passion by working on something you don't enjoy.
