I create and direct performances, and I live in Oakland, California. I want to give you experiences you will remember on your deathbed.
Here are some things people have said about my work:
It didn’t feel like theater, it just felt so real. Being alone at such a pivotal moment in the show really reiterated how personal the experience was. I felt like this show would still have been produced if I was the only one there. There was at once the feeling of being invisible and really being seen. Just an amazing feeling. The actors were so sensitive as to what my experience was. I felt like they were true to themselves as characters, but also building upon my experience, rather than imposing any experience on me. It felt like my own personal dream.

– Oakland Audience ReviewerTotally magical, visually and emotionally. Creativity like this in the theater is rare.
– Terry SendgraffI was slack-jawed.
– San Francisco Audience ReviewerStunning. I went home heartbroken and uplifted.
– Minneapolis Audience ReviewerThis absorbing mystery keeps surprising right up to the end. I will think about this piece for weeks.

I feel compelled to say that CounterPULSE is my fiscal sponsor!
The upshot for you is that if you decide to make a donation toward the development of a show, I can give you a tax write off. Fancy! You can e-mail me about such things.
Speaking of e-mail!
