  In conjunction with Slanderous Tongues Theatre, a classical theatre organization on the USC campus that is entirely student-run, I co-directed a production of Oscar Wilde's "The Importance of Being Earnest." As it was an independent student production, the responsibilities of the director were largely expanded to those of a producer, as we oversaw many other components of the show, and I also acted as a costumer.
