DIRECTOR

While the bulk of her career has been spent onstage, Brianna has always had a love of directing. Her collaborative spirit, eye for detail, and theatrical knowledge allowed her to easily shift to a place "behind the table" - a place where she has always wanted to see greater female representation. Brianna's aim is to create productions that tell engaging stories while pushing toward greater diversity and inclusion both onstage and off, so that any audience member can see themselves represented onstage. She believes that theatre should be honest, magical, and a safe space for everyone involved.
