Directing
I’m interested in work that plays with form, Latine history, magical realism onstage, and stories that build empathy.

SMASH on Broadway - SDCF Observership
From January to April of 2025, I had the chance to be the SDCF Observer on the directing team of SMASH on Broadway, led by Susan Stroman. I got to be an active part of creating a new musical on Broadway, from first rehearsal through opening night. I worked closely with the Associate and Assistant Directors, getting a masterclass in collaboration, the logistics of Broadway, and the craft of directing.
The video to the left is an official trailer for SMASH.
A fully staged reading of this new play took place as part of the Spark Festival at the Emerging Artists’ Theatre in March 2023. Stalled sees a young, gifted gambler wrestling with his family’s past and deciding how to bet on his future.
