makes theatre

and sometimes

other stuff, too

Hey, I'm Bree. I am a theatremaker with over ten years of experience as director and a performer. I like to tell stories, in whatever way my abilities lend themselves to the story at hand. Lately, that has looked like writing newsletters, short scripts, and novel outlines. At other times it has looked like directing new scripts and collaborating with playwrights in rehearsal spaces, including Elizabeth A. M. Keel and Brendan Bourque-Sheil; hosting and producing story-telling events; producing works with students and adults performing on stage for the first time; and immersing audiences in site-specific experiences citywide. My preferred subjects connect to the audience's heart and mind, and they explore the individual perspectives on and impacts of cultural and sociopolitical systems and histories.  

​

I get things done, and I have fun doing it. Want to make something together?
