Having worked for many years in the entertainment industry, I understand the challenges creative professionals face in shaping their public image. I help artists craft personal statements, targeted to engage key industry players.
Joseph R. Walls Lighting Design
When I was eleven, my older brother crammed me into the trunk of Greased Lightning in his high school production of Grease. They needed someone small to set off the pyro and fog effects rigged in the car. In that moment, I tasted the excitement of making unseen magic happen onstage. I was hooked.
I bring that sense of childlike wonder to every project I work on. I love collaborating with teams that brainstorm ferociously, throwing all the marbles on the floor and seeing what flies into the air. Let’s dream up the impossible, and then join forces to make it an onstage reality.
As a colleague, I value communication, preparation, and hard work. I come into a process with a coordinated plan in place, but ready to provide adaptive solutions as our needs evolve. Most importantly, I love what I do. Approaching diverse projects with the same enthusiasm I had in the back of Greased Lightning, I’m always looking for the next frontier of theatrical collaboration.

Lisa Dennett, Actress
On camera, I play spitfire broads who know how to handle themselves when situations get sticky. But my roots in improv have taught me how to cut through that sharpness with a sarcastic sense of humor, and back it up with a whole lot of heart.
My journey as a performer has been anything but typical. Through my work as a certified ASL interpreter, my world includes the vast community of artists and audiences with disabilities, who are too-frequently left on the periphery of the entertainment industry.
I’m singing again—and not just for my husband and my cat.I’m creating cabarets that tell the stories I’ve been collecting on this road less traveled. I am hungry for projects that prioritize diversity and accessibility. So let me be your singing, signing, saucy dame. Trust me, I’m your gal.
