Tamiko Washington Named a Best Theater Director by the Examiner

The Examiner's list of Best Theater in Orange County for 2009 named Tamiko Washington for her direction of "Trojan Horse" at Chapman University, as reviewed by tireless theater critic and fellow OCPA member, Jordan Young.

I had the pleasure of working with Tamiko when she directed a staged reading of my one-act "Ode to Provence" in April 2009 at STAGES Theater. With very little time, she did an amazing job, using her signature skills as the originator of American Noh theater to block the play, giving the reading the feel of a full production.

Congratulations to Tamiko for her continuing excellent work in theater!
