Hi, I’m Sophie Goldstein
My Bio
Hello! I am a Jewish/Chicana director, choreographer and writer born and raised in Los Angeles, CA. I'm passionate about theatre and social justice and bringing the two together. I love collaborating with other artists, especially on new work. I enjoy directing/choreographing all kinds of styles but have a particular fondness for absurdist theatre because I believe it is the most reflective of our human experience.
