Work history
Portfolio
Is It Time to Accept Theater’s Obscurity?
This is an example of the work I tend to write for The Clyde Fitch Report. In this piece I consider how theater can broaden its appeal using marketing strategies from other art forms, like film and television.
Israel Horovitz on How to Adapt a Play for the Screen
This is a sample podcast from my show The Scene, which is produced by the CFR in partnership with Theater Communications Group, the national organization for American theater. In this episode, Israel Horovitz describes how he adapted one of his plays into a film with Maggie Smith and Kevin Kline.
Watch: A Better Way to Describe the Value of the Arts
This is an animated video I made on the social impact of the arts. It's another example of the kinds of digital content I create for The Clyde Fitch Report.

Ideal team
I am open to teams of all sizes, but have the most experience with smaller or midsize groups between 10 and 50 people. My preferred style would be one in which I have some degree of freedom but also a clear, specific understanding of my employer's goals.
