Hello. My name’s Joseph. I’m a theatre artist. I’ve studied, worked, taught, and made friends in New Orleans, Chicago, New York, Taipei, and Central Florida. I’ve recently moved to the Greater Boston area and look forward to making Great Theatre here.

My passion is exploring new ways of making and seeing theatre that are inclusive and inspiring. Through my work I aim to create flexible perspectives and contexts in which to embrace change.

Most of my professional work has been in scenic design (click here to see a full list of design credits). Details about some of that work can be found on my “scenic design” page.

I have also had wonderful opportunities to engage with theatre students throughout my career. Information about some of that work can be found on my “educational theatre” page.

For two years, my wife and I produced original plays in the small town of Rockledge, FL as miR theatre. With miR, we commissioned and hosted visiting playwrights to immerse themselves in the natural, historic, and cultural environment of the area and to generate new plays reflecting that experience. Cereus Moonlight, by playwright Sarah Shotland, premiered in Rockledge in 2013 and was accepted into and presented at the Rhinoceros Theatre Festival in Chicago in 2014. Jazz/Reade by Giles Gonnsen premiered in Rockledge in 2014, and Coquina Regent by Aaron Dean was given a public reading in Rockledge in 2014.

For the past 5 years I have been adapting, producing, designing, and directing plays by modernist author Gertrude Stein. You can learn about that work on my “geography and plays” page.
