HELEN GARCIA-ALTON (she/her/hers)
I love the human experience.
The kind of theatre I love most is the kind where the audience ends up bookmarking the production in their memory because it touches them so deeply. I especially enjoy working on new works, site-specific immersive devised productions, and dark comedic musicals.
I am from Venezuela by way of Maryland and I am bilingual in Spanish. Besides traveling the world (13 countries and counting!) and lighting the stage, I enjoy watering my 45 plants and having philosophical discussions about plumbing with my cat named Owl.
I am especially interested in alternative theatrical mediums, and collaborating on works with international artists and artists from different cultures. Please reach out if you have any questions or would like to collaborate!
