Cole and Olamiju Obanikoro. I hope…
I can’t remember how I got talked into it, but I’m very glad I did. Back in January, a group of us started scheming with Ensemble Studio Theatre/Los Angeles Artistic Director Tracey A. Leigh and Producing Director Troy Loftin about ways to foster new writing through the company. After hearing…
Was so delighted that my short, one-woman play Carry On was included in “The Early Bird Special” at EST/LA in Atwater Village the weekend of June 18 & 19, 2022. This is one of those plays that’s kind of an accident. First drafted in 2020 during the early days of the…
I hope you can join me on Monday, June 6th at 7:30 pm, for a reading of DEAD PEOPLE’S DISHES at The Road Theatre in NoHo. Feeling very lucky to back in the theater, working again with director Margaret Shigeko Starbuck. And we’ve got an amazing cast drawn mostly from the…
Yowza! This has been a ride. Two years ago (yeah, in the before times: fall 2019) I was honored to be selected as one of the playwrights comprising Road Theatre Company’s inaugural Under Construction Playwrights Group. There were 11 of us, building our new plays from the ground up, aiming…

This is a play that I’ve…

Would love for you to join this incredible team Monday 3/29 at 7pm PT for The WORD @ The Road virtual reading of my dark comedy “Space Available,” followed by a talkback! Excited to share the work of director Mía Y. Anderson and incredible actors at The Road Theatre Company…
One year later… Or actually, a little over a year! Fall, 2019 I started work on a new full length play built from the ground up, “adaptation.resilience,” as part of The Road Theatre‘s first “Under Construction” cohort. Such a fantastic experience, working for a Covid-extended period with dramaturg Jessica Broutt…
