Brad has directed a wide variety of shows, most notably with Taproot Theatre Company, Reboot Theatre Company, Village Theatre KIDSTAGE, Studio East, Second Story Rep, Pork Filled Productions, Twelfth Night Productions, and Burien Little Theater, and he has assistant directed with Seattle Gilbert & Sullivan Society. Brad most commonly directs for educational theatre programs, but is always eager to work on projects with “big kids” as well! He is particularly passionate about new work and stories that give voices to the under-represented.
Brad likes to foster a rehearsal atmosphere based on collaboration; a safe place to experiment and test bits — an actor that feels heard, supported, and empowered will always give their best in the rehearsal room. Brad puts a heavy emphasis on table work and character analysis, believing that quality time spent on developing three-dimensional characters makes blocking more stream-lined and effective. Meaningful relationships and heart are the name of the game for Brad’s directing philosophy; also silliness… lots of sillness.
