Q: Give us a brief background of your career leading up to house managing at the Stephen Sondheim Theatre.
A: I moved to New York City in 1995 to attend New York University - Tisch School of the Arts for Dance. During my freshman year, I began ushering at the Joyce Theatre, where I began my career in front of house management. After many front of house positions at the Joyce Theatre, I was relocated downtown to assist in the opening of their smaller theatre and rehearsal space, Joyce SoHo. In 2003, I left to open the Biltmore Theatre (now the Friedman Theatre) as the Assistant House Manager. During my three years at the Biltmore, I was also the Development and Marketing Coordinator for Celebrate Brooklyn!. During my 5 years at Celebrate Brooklyn!, one of my accomplishments was taking their membership program from about 40 to over 300. They have since doubled that number, making the summer festival an ongoing success. While also continuing to maintain a performance career, I learned that another new theatre, The Times Center, was opening. I jumped at the opportunity to open another event space. The Times Center was my first green space. While at The Times Center, there was a program about Roundabout Theatre Company opening the first green Broadway theatre space, the Henry Miller's Theatre. I had already known that several of my past co-workers had moved to Roundabout and decided I would inquire if they had hired a house manager. Fifteen years later and I've been a part of opening two Broadway Theatres, a small dance rehearsal/performance space, an event space and the revival of a summer festival.

Given the odds, for one to have been involved with a singular Broadway success would be impressive. To have been involved with two would solidify one's status as a true Broadway 'player.' How about 4, running at the same time?
Only two artists have been able to boast such an accomplishment, the first being Susan Stroman, whose productions of Contact, The Producers, The Music Man, and Thou Shalt Not all ran simultaneously for a short time in 2001. Last season, Broadway's go-to choreographer, Sergio Trujillo, joined her company with his superfecta of Next to Normal, Jersey Boys, The Addams Family and Memphis. It appears that like Jersey Boys, Memphis, and The Addams Family, Trujillo is showing no signs of breaking his streak, or going anywhere, with new projects in the pipeline incoming.
