He wants to guiding the audience to the transformative space that is live theatre and do so with an encouraging hand, hopefully creating theatre that reaches past the fourth wall and touches its audience; either with its side-splitting humor or with questions for them to interrogate and unravel on their walk home. Thanks to everyone who has worked and supported POOT— I cannot wait to share this with you!
