Theater through a different lens…

As a pre-frosh, I knew theater was my deal.
Then, I came to Yale and found there was more than way to see it.
Photographing shows for the Yale Daily News allowed me to see what I love through an entirely new lens. Now, people ask me to do it just for fun.

I have captured a reinvented Shakespeare…

… a never-seen-before student musical…

… and step into the world of graduate theater through a production at the Yale Cabaret.

I had the honor of hearing one of my friend’s original plays read aloud in one of the biggest theater spaces on campus as part of the annual Playwrights Festival,

… and then witness the US premiere of Caroline Bird’s adaptation of a moving Greek tragedy…

and marvel at the beauty of the Dramat’s annual Freshman Show.

I have spent an evening with Twelve Angry Men in a residential college theater…

…and been captivated by the mainstage production of ¡Teatro!, Yale’s Latino and Latin American theater ensemble.

I photographed these eight shows. There were over 50 more I could’ve seen and captured. I thought that theater at Yale was going to be one thing. Seeing the stage through the eye of a camera has revived my vision of the stage, and opened me up to the vast and incredible opportunities of Yale theater.
