THE CRYSTAL METHOD followed a similar trajectory since their formation in 1993. The Grammy Award-nominated, platinum-certified trailblazing duo Ken Jordan and Scott Kirkland set the stage for the genre-mashing electronic sounds that fuel the current zeitgeist.

As an artist, I always want to grow. That's part of why I took on the challenge of stage managing Depend on Me. It's given me a much broader perspective of theatre as a whole, and I'm SO grateful for that opportunity. As far as where I'd like to go artistically? Well, I can't do that alone. I love an artistic challenge, the chance to take a risk. I would love for more theatre companies to do the same. Specifically? Cast me as someone you wouldn't expect, given my size and/or gender. Give me a chance to blow a few minds. That's my dream.
