His hope for the future of Memphis theatre community and the Ostranders: “I hope that every theater in the area will begin to put on productions that are diverse in people and subject matter, allowing all audiences different perspectives in life in order to challenge our thinking. As for the Ostranders, my hope is that it continues to grow in its welcoming of production companies, as well as bringing in new and exciting judges.”
