The Story


Hello!

I am a NY-based theatre maker that blends my background in variety arts, sleight of hand, and classical theatre training to create original devised work and inventive re-imaginings of classics.

Recent credits: Illusion Design for Jonah at Roundabout Theatre Company directed by Danya Taymor and written by Rachel Bonds (now playing). Magic Consultant for A Simulacrum by Lucas Hnath and Steve Cuiffo at Atlantic Theatre Company. Associate Illusion Designer for The Search for Signs of Intelligent Life in the Universe starring Cecily Strong and directed by Leigh Silverman at the Center Theatre Group. Performer/Resident Director for the Chinese national tour of One Starry Night, a 2-character physical theatre piece for young audiences that blends visual art, music, and magic (ArKtype/Grand Boat).

On screen with Keith David and Lamman Rucker, I played the lead character in Service to Man, an independent film that won five Best Narrative Feature awards on the festival circuit. For my role as Eli, I was nominated Best Actor in a Feature Film at the Twister Alley Film Festival. Click HERE to watch selected scenes.

Training: SUNY Purchase BFA Acting.
