DIRECTING
Directing, for me, is about trust and the collective ownership of ideas, so that the artistic team can conjure up a story in a shared moment of time and space.
Martin directs “…with scenes of imagination and poetic insight” (Pittsburgh Post Gazette) And builds theatrical worlds which “…will alternately rouse you and break your heart.” (City Paper.)
