"My vision is for theatre to embody the highest expression of the human condition across comedy, drama, and the musical. I focus on developing innovative productions designed for both artistic impact and practical viability in varying economic landscapes. Central to my practice is a commitment to artistic renewal to ensure continued relevance, which informs my direction of a diverse repertoire from the classical canon to contemporary works."

A small sample of work.

"Jim's one of the best kept secrets of the LA actor or any actor anywhere. He's a actor's director. The list of people he's worked wih would blow your mind"

Kris Nolan

 

"Jim has the vision, tenacity, compassion, attention to detail and a constant determination to infect all those who work with him with a commitment to excellence. I recommend him to you without reservation"

John S. Carter
Independent Film & TV Producer

"James is an amazing composer, writer and director. His biggest problem is he's too quiet about his talents. But that's what makes him special, I think. His work in theatre will be felt long after he's gone.

Julie Daniels
Actress, Writer 

"Besides being one of the nicest persons you'll ever meet, once James begins to work with you, you understand immediately why you're with him. He teaches you to committ to your craft or go home. He's one of the best!"
