 A member of the Stage Directors and Choreographers Society, Paul has had the fortune of directing both premieres and established works. Most recent being his unique staging of Oliver in the Blitz of 1941 and The Scarlet Pimpernel both at the historic Barter Theatre. With original works he has staged in New York the comedies Humility, Confession and The Almost True and Truly Remarkable Adventures of Israel Potter, American Patriot. The latter play by Joe Bravaco and Larry Rosler based on a novel by Herman Melville.
Other directing credits include: The Heiress, The Sunshine Boys, The Rocky Horror Show, Phantom, Once Upon A Mattress, Footloose, Guys and Dolls and his revolutionary staging of Evita placed in the setting of a crumbling Argentine Pampas cantina. His recent project was Bat Boy - The Musical for the Barter Theatre's 75th Anniversary Season.

It is without hesitation that I can recommend Paul as an experienced and dedicated professional who has consistently provided excellent services."
