Jeff Crosley
Hello and welcome! I'm a freelance theatrical director, politics geek, and jazz/pop/rock pianist in NYC working on the off-off-Broadway circuit. I am also an Associate Producer for Manhattan Theatre Mission.
I direct because I love telling stories, and I enjoy finding ways to get talented people with diverse skill sets all working in the service of a cohesive whole. I'm drawn to small-scale stories told in a simple manner, and I'm good at making the most out of limitted theatrical resources. I have a puzzle mind, and I relish in figuring out how to piece a show together until it runs like a watch.
But always with spontaneity.
