THE TONY AWARDS

One of my all-time favorite projects, I wrote the copy for this video in 15 minutes. Seriously.

And I later directed Tony Award-winner Leslie Odom Jr. on his voice over.

Theatre inspired me to write this copy!

I wrote the treatment for the 2017 Tony Awards' PSA video below—check out the copy:

Everyone remembers that moment—that moment they first felt the power of theatre. Whether it happened at a high school production or a Broadway blockbuster, you suddenly saw the world in a new way, and joined something larger than yourself.

This elegant and eloquent video taps into those revelatory moments. Tony nominees light up the screen, gazing directly and passionately into the camera, as they share why they chose theatre and why they continue to choose theatre. The nominees’ stories reveal history, honesty, integrity, and more.

The diversity of content creates a rich authenticity that doesn’t just emotionally move viewers, but also moves them to act. The video inspires viewers to watch the Tony Awards®, while underlining the urgency and importance of theatre today.
