"A Sense of Play"

Aria Velz Director & Designer

Aria Velz is a director, dramaturg, sound designer, teaching artist, and an emerging lesbian media critic. She has worked at a long list of DMV theaters, including Signature Theatre, NextStop Theatre Company, Olney Theatre Center, Imagination Stage, Flying V, Mosaic Theater, and Theater Alliance. Aria is as enthusiastic to watch plays as she is to make them, and we talk about the plays and musicals she loves, how she navigates the hustle of freelancing, her collaborations with her wife--the playwright KJ Moran-Velz--and more.
