Kristofer Kauff 


Philosophy and Approach 

"I believe in leading a truly collaborative effort, utilizing the strengths of everyone involved in each production.  Throughout my career, I have been dedicated to directing shows with an honest and natural approach, making productions accessible to new and seasoned audiences.  In the rehearsal process I encourage actors to search for the reality in their characters and relationships, always staying within the shows overall vision.  It's about bridging the script to the audience, always staying true to the writers intent."
