"As Joe's long-time colleague, I have had the privilege of witnessing his remarkable talent and dedication to the world of theatre. His tenacity to direct and produce original material that pushes the boundaries of traditional theatre spaces is truly commendable. He consistently demonstrated a fearless approach to theatrical innovation. His ability to think outside the box and challenge conventional norms is what sets him apart. Despite the challenges and obstacles that often accompany producing original material, Joe never wavers in his determination to see his vision come to life on stage."

"From our very first conversation, it was clear to me that Joe is incredibly passionate about design and knowledgeable about the needs of a theater. He drew from his training and experience as both a designer and performer to create a set that met our practical needs and helped bring our artistic vision to life. The final set enhanced not only the look of our production but also elevated our actors’ performance, allowing them to inhabit the world of the characters. Throughout the entire process, Joe was collaborative, communicative, and professional, as well as a blast to work with. "

From the moment I directed him in that production, I knew Joe possessed a rare combination of talent, dedication, and passion for the craft. Since then, Joe has not only honed his skills as a performer but has also proven himself as a valuable asset in the realm of theatre production. His keen eye for detail and storytelling has greatly enhanced the readings and workshops we've worked on together."
