Who?
The one place where chaos and focus can live side by side. I love when a rehearsal room feels alive, messy, full of ideas, but still moving toward clarity and purpose. "Structured chaos" is my process: I throw myself into extremes, try things that feel too big or risky, and then carve out what is true.
Being Irish-Italian, and growing up in Pittsburgh, shaped me as a storyteller. I come from a culture of big voices, humor, conflict, and resilience. Stories that are lived out loud. That background fuels my need to not just "play"- but wrestle. If it's with characters: Why do they exist? What do they need? And what do they reveal about us?
I call myself a focused actor. That focus lets me dive into complexity without losing the humanity underneath. In Arcadia, directed by Phil Winters, I had to balance Stoppard's intellectual rigor with emotional depth. Staying sharp, but never forgetting the pulse of that human being.
Let's collaborate. I thrive when ideas bounce around the room, when people lift each other up, and commit to the story we're telling. Theatre is not about me or you, but about how this work can spark something: in my partner, in the ensemble, and ultimately in the audience. We can spark something real, hilarious, painful, chaotic, or transformative. That's the theatre I want to make.
