Welcome to the Board of Directors

The Board of Directors

Here’s something that most people don’t know: my whole career as a podcaster is actually an accident.

It all started in 2020, during the pandemic, with The Theatre of Others Podcast. At first, it was just a way to stay connected, to share ideas, and to bring a little spark of creativity at a time when we all felt isolated. What began as a small experiment suddenly took off, and it opened doors I never expected.

Now I find myself on a new path—with The Board of Directors. And this wasn’t supposed to be a thing either. But the truth is, directors rarely get the chance to see each other’s work. We don’t sit in on each other’s rehearsals. We don’t often get to share how we live inside this strange, demanding, exhilarating role of being a director.

So this podcast is not about how to direct—it’s not a handbook of tips and tricks. It’s about how to BE a director. What it feels like. What it means. The doubts, the breakthroughs, the ways we navigate making work with others.

And because I can do whatever I want, I’m choosing to talk with directors I admire, directors you may know, and directors you may never have heard of—but each one has something worth sharing. Something I believe will challenge us, move us, and maybe even change the way we see our own practice.

I am as much a student of these conversations as you are. I come with my curiosity, my questions, my desire to learn. Sometimes we’ll agree, sometimes we won’t. And that’s all part of it.

So, if you’re looking for insight, companionship, and a glimpse into the often unseen world of the director’s craft, join me here, on The Board of Directors. Let’s learn what it means to be a director—together.
