DIRECTOR

As a Director, Derek specializes in Theatre for Young Audiences. His passion for directing began when he directed The Laramie Project for his Senior Project in High School. Part of the project was to contribute back to the community and proceeds of all ticket sales went toward The Matthew Shepard Foundation. This school project inspired him to found Fearless Theatre, a company in Chicago that highlights the perils and pitfalls of the teenage odyssey. Part of the mission of the company was to raise awareness for charities that were related to the themes in the play.  As a Director, Derek wants to inspire audiences young and old to follow their dreams, feel empowered, and stay young at heart.
