News!!
11/4/2025- Big News! I am offering Private Acting Lessons/Coaching. Check out the “Lessons” page for more details!
10/30/2025- My Halloween present from the University of Birmingham was an e-mail confirming my graduation from the Masters for Shakespeare and Creativity! I managed to score high enough in my assessments to earn a “First Distinction”, which means I’m an overachiever. My dissertation project, a card game titled “Playwrights, or Plotting in Portions” earned a 79 in the final assessment. (For my American readers that is actually a fairly high score, anything above 70 is equivalent to an A in our domestic grading rubric).
10/28/2025- The Peony Pavilion is officially wrapped! We had an amazing diplomatic mission to China, and our reception was phenomenal. For more info on the tour check out Peony Pavilion.
10/18/2025- Today I leave for my first international tour! I have been invited to participate in an international tour of The Peony Pavilion, by Tang Xianzu, as translated by Huang Bikang. We will be featuring in the Tang Xianzu Theater Month hosted in Fuzhou China! I begin the journey by traveling to the United Kingdom for three days of brush-up rehearsals, followed by a five day whirlwind of performances and events in China! Look forward to updates after I return!
10/6/2025- Ooof, it has been a minute since I was able to work on Board Boss! Long story short, student Visas in the UK explicitly forbid self-employment. Due to this I was unable to continue any BB related activities abroad. But now that I have returned to the states I will be ramping production back up on BB, as well as pursuing auditions around the Pacific Northwest. Drop me a line if you are interested in working with me as a performer!
8/17/2024- Liberty (Me) was accepted to the University of Birmingham Masters program for Shakespeare and Creativity! I will be migrating to the UK from the USA in September of 2024! This will mean a slight adjustment to Board Boss! I will continue streaming and creating content, however I will switch my focus to Shakespearean texts and shift the name to BØARD BOSS (See without the O it’s BARD BOSS!!!!).

The Ramble
Hi, Liberty here- I thought this would be as good a place as any to write out my own story and through it the beginnings of Board Boss…
I have always been enamored with three things, BOARD GAMES, THEATRE, and ENTREPRENEURSHIP(I know, that last one sounds ridiculous- but bear with me). There is thread that flows through my entire life that is woven of those three aspects, and the result of their cohesion is Board Boss.
While these aspects may seem disparate, to me what connects them is what makes me love them- imagination. Board games rely on imagination to create an arena for their players, one that can activate emotional and intellectual responses. Theatre is imagination, the ability for an audience to dismiss their reality and accept the one placed before them is an expression of shared suspension of disbelief- and it is not possible without the imaginations of every cast, crew and audience member. The key to successful business is imagination, an individual’s ability to perceive their current circumstances and create from them opportunity is what defines a true entrepreneur.
Imagination is the lighthouse of my life. Growing up I clutched at every opportunity to explore my own creative imagination- I auditioned at every opportunity, competed in High School Speech, and wrote my own plays and films(hopefully none of which can be found). I played board games, and video games voraciously, I was searching for what it was like to live outside of my circumstances. In college I studied both Theatre Arts, and Business Administration. I wrote business plans for imaginary multi-million dollar theatrical guilds, dreamed of acting professionally, and fell into a lasting love with Pathfinder. I followed one of those dreams to New York City- the shining apple, the big gamble. I studied at the Stella Adler Studio, and to my surprise-their focus was imagination. During my years in NYC I built sets, founded a theater company with like minded individuals, and learned to live below the poverty line. I loved New York City, not for what I was able to do, but for the possibilities it represented. Then in 2016, I made a realistic decision- I needed to survive.
I returned to Eastern-Oregon, burdened with an imagination that would not relent. For the next seven years I worked for my family’s business, putting my degree to good use, managing a liquor store. I am proud of my accomplishments during that time. My efforts increased profitability, productivity, and overall efficiency. Fortunately for me, my imagination did not have time to atrophy- instead I was presented with extraordinary opportunities. I joined a professional Shakespeare company, I withstood the greatest failure of my creative career-which was at the same time one of my greatest successes, and I fell in love. The time came for my parent’s to retire from the liquor business, and when they did I saw it as my opportunity to allow my imagination to take the wheel once again.
My imagination has driven me to Board Boss, a way of combining the three threads of my life- a network that live-streams narrative board games, played by a talented cast of performers…and if all goes to plan it will be dang entertaining.
