Director

What excites me most about theatre is its inherently collaborative spirit. As a director, I strive to create a rehearsal environment where everyone—actors, designers, and crew—feels like a valued part of the process. I believe in fostering a strong sense of community, where actors feel empowered to explore, take risks, and fully invest in their characters, knowing their voices will always be heard. This collaborative energy is the heart of my creative approach, and it's where the magic happens.

Claudia Carr has a dilemma. She's an award winning baker, yet she's afraid of pies! Her smartphone-obsessed daughter Felicity has the solution. An oceanic cruise of the maiden voyage of Pie-tanic, the world's first pie-themed cruise ship, with its state of the art "pi-fi" that runs everything on the ship. What could go wrong? Join the Carrs, "Pie-lot" Big Joe Boetz and a ship-full of kooky characters as they cross the sea, joking, rocking out, looking for that next amazing destination and a good 'net signal! They encounter a sooth-saying kangaroo, a group of mud-worshipers, some wise-cracking virtual assistant apps and what's up with that guy with the mustache? Pie-tanic, there will be pie!.
