Lane
McLeod Jackson
Greater New York City Area
Lane McLeod Jackson is a writer, director, and critic who has been based in the Midwest, Ireland, and South Jersey. He is now working and looking for work in the New York metropolitan area.
He believes that background, research, and technique are essential to innovation and experimentation. He enjoys facilitating collaboration between passionate, strong willed, and engaged persons, whether developing concepts with designers or motivating an audience.
"My objective is the creation of a vibrant theatrical conversation. If that involves new content so be it. If it involves working with established institutions and artists, I'd be honored. I'll work on stage, in a park, with a fox on a box as long as it involves meaningful theatre."
