Richon May Wallace - Creative Producer & Teaching Artist
Shannon Flaherty
Creative Producer & Teaching Artist
Richon May is a proud native New Orleanian who directs, acts and teaches. Richon just recently completed the MFA program with a concentration in Directing at the University of New Orleans this past Spring of 2022. She decided to pursue her masters after working in arts education for over 15 years. She produced and directed various self written children’s plays, which has taught her to purposefully plan, yet remain flexible for changes. Training younger students also has helped her keep a positive outlook and fresh perspective, as it pertains to approaching the work, in the creative process. Some of her directing credits include: Troi Bechet’s original work, “Flower’s for Halie” at Southern Rep, “Mother Courage”, Sara Ruhl’s”Eurydice” at UNO’s Amphitheater , “Single Black Female”, which received The Kennedy Center Citizen’s Artist Award and Katori Hall’s” Hoodoo Love”. Richon is most looking forward to co-directing her first Goat in the Road project with Chris Kaminstein this fall at the Beauregard- Keyes in the French Quarters.
