Director
About Me
Max is a theatrical director with a passion for reimagining and reinvestigating the classic plays and musicals of yesterday and for developing the classics of tomorrow. He's been fortunate to assist at regional institutions like the Muny, the American Repertory Theater, Shakespeare Theatre Company DC, and on Broadway. As a director, Max loves digging into enigmatic, bombastic, maybe-even-a-little-dusty pieces of theatre. He is a proud Latino, an amateur baker, a lover of kooky words, and an intense fan of "Murder She Wrote."
