From the Director:
Push Up is my push up.
I applied to direct this show December of 2013 and with the help of my mentor Quetta Carpenter, I have finally directed my first published show. Through this process, I have learned more about acting, directing, managing, leading, and navigating university bureaucracy; all with my dream cast and beyond amazing creative team and production staff. I hope to become established as a director both to myself and to the university. I hope this inspires others to look at both the available opportunities and the lack thereof within the department, especially for directors. I hope to inspire others to push for making the change they want, starting right here.
Thank you Quetta, Dack, cast, creative team, and production staff. You made this possible.
No one has the power to keep you down. You must always push up for what you truly believe in.
