On August 5th, 2025, I begin rehearsals as Associate Director for the New York Premiere of John Leguizamo’s The Other Americans at The Public Theater Off-Broadway. Previews begin on September 11, 2025. It is a blessed joy and honor to continue my working relationship with the incomparable artist Ruben Santiago-Hudson, having previously served as his Associate Director for the world premiere production of John Leguizamo’s The Other Americans at arena stage.org October 18 to November 24, 2024.

In early 2023, I directed and conceived She’s Got Harlem On Her Mind, Three One Act Plays by Eulalie Spence. I also wrote original music for this production, which ran Off-Off Broadway at The Metropolitan Playhouse, from February 16 -March 12th. Darryl Reilly, the theater critic for theater scene.net placed this production in the number 1 slot of his 2023 Best List.

Following this production, I served as the Associate Director of Destiny of Desire, written by Karen Zacarías and directed by Ruben Santiago-Hudson at The Old Globe Theatre in San Diego, CA from May 19th to June 25, 2023.

From October 25th to October 31, 2023, I was again invited by Ruben Santiago-Hudson, Director, to be his Associate Director for a writers workshop of The Ten, a new musical, with music by Future Cut, the songwriting/producing duo of Lyiola Babatunde Babalola & Darren Lewis, lyrics by Emily Phillips, book by Nambi E.
