Trustee

I AM PROUD TO BE AN ASC BOARD MEMBER BECAUSE:

I believe in the transformative power of theatre, especially in this unique space.

MY ALL-TIME FAVORITE ASC MOMENT:

…watching Allison Glenzer as the Duchess of Gloucester in Henry VI, Part Two. This sparked my long affection for the not-as-popular play and showed the power of great actors, even in small roles.
