Since directing garage plays in her neighborhood at age eight, Maggie knew she was drawn to creating artistic experiences.
Through high school and university, she developed her skills and discovered a passion for directing plays that explore themes of feminism and liberation. She admires the work of abstract, performance art creators such as The Wooster Group and Jess Dobkin, and can’t stop dreaming of Lynchian images onstage.
Maggie has received directing mentorship from Annie Tippe, Anita La Selva, Kwaku Okyere, William Dao, Kevin Matthew Wong, and Andrew Tribe. She is always eager to sit in on any part of a director’s process, and continues to pursue mentorship and training.
