His highlight of his job was being able to go to work everyday and do something different. Whether it be working on preparing a show, or working on improving the theatre. He said his visions for the next years would be a number of successful, smooth running plays, as well as a rise in popularity in the theatre. He wants to continue to have fun as well. Contact
