THEATRE DIRECTOR
The Hunchback of Notre Dame was a passion project from beginning to end. A culmination of the lessons I had learned from my training at University of the Arts and blended my branding into those methods. Thus creating an interesting balance between avante-garde, and commercial theatre.
​
For our production of Hunchback, I casted an unprecedented small rotating cast of 18, reduced the orchestrations down to a piano, and some misc. instruments played by the actors onstage.
​
American Sign Language was utilized throughout the production by Quasimodo and an invited performance was ASL interpreted. We used no microphones and no additional choir was present.
​
Using an ideograph of a triangle as our inspiration, Hunchback never strayed from simple storytelling, and do-it-yourself theatre.
​
We had a list of goals we maintained throughout the entire process:
​
- Keep storytelling in the foreground, never hidden behind effects
​
- Highlight the musical score as the only spectacle in the show
​
- Be inclusive for audiences that are hard of hearing
​
The result was an incredibly intimate and moving theatrical experience.
