Favorite Memory of T&D:
There's almost too many. One night our class came down to South Austin — at that time South Austin was a pretty scary place to be — to my house to party and it was probably 2 a.m. and quiet for a second, and Clark started tapping out a rhythm with a spoon or a fork — I can't remember which — and from there one by one each of us began to create a sound and a rhythm to add to it. It was beautiful. I still like to make theatre that way.
Influential Professors or Classes:
Lee Abraham and Oscar Brockett – wow – don't know what I did to deserve such amazing professors, but I would do it again and again and again. I was so hungry for knowledge and opportunity and both professors fed me great big spoonfuls of both several times a day. Thank you!

Biography (or what you've done since graduating from UT):
