Skylar is a Chicago based Director, Teaching Artist, and Theatre Maker deeply interested in the intersection of Theatre and Music. There is a special bit of magic in songs and stories, and he seeks to work with collaborators interested in exploring worlds full of music. This magic is what led Skylar to found Instrumental Theatre Company, an emerging Chicago theatre company who's mission is to inspire harmony through ensemble based storytelling crafted at the intersection of actors and musicians. 

​

Skylar's affinity for Musical Theatre, New Works, and Theatre For Young Audiences have all merged to work on delightful projects best enjoyed by all ages. His enthusiasm for a sense of play and passionate interest in music guides his practice as a collaborator, infusing rhythm, pace, tempo, and musical methodology into his storytelling. This includes original projects seen at Chicago Public Libraries, schools, and early learning centers, sketch and improv scenes, and small -  mid-size regional theatres. 

​

Since moving to Chicago, Skylar has been peddling away at gig after gig working with Raven, Theatre, Writers Theatre, Bump In The Night, Improv Playhouse, Midsommer Flight, Underscore Theatre Company, Mudlark Theatre, and Haven Theatre.
