What a great time with such incredible artists! I was thrilled when The Road Theatre invited me to be part of their Summer Playwrights Festival again, this time with my comedy about negotiations, acceptance and belonging, The Big Red Naugahyde Booth (or, Would-be Elks)… online! This is a play that I’ve…
Having the best time staging “Footprint” for EST/LA’s Launchpad 2019! Lovely to work with Poonam Basu, William Duffy and Mateo Mpinduzi-Mott, reprising their roles in this play about loss, mystery and leaving one’s mark; director Laura Stribling and I feel very clever having brought Donna Simone Johnson on board as…
I’m so glad to get another chance to play with director Laura Stribling and a bunch of fab actors in new reading of INTO THE GOBPILE through The Word @ The Road on October 14! It’s been terrific digging into this play, which has been supported by The Road Theatre…
Sometimes things just fall into place. I was very excited when EST/LA chose to support my my play Footprint through their Long Term Dramaturgy Project earlier this year… especially as it had just been named a 2019 O’Neill Finalist. Footprint is a uniquely LA story, and it was great to…
There are some plays… I’m so so so pleased to be exploring Into the Gobpile – which is (I think) a different sort of play for me – with the wonderfully talented artists at The Road Theatre Company. This is a play that’s sort of a (backwards?) love letter to…
How fun to be playing up in Topanga again, with fabulous playwrights and works we received through Botanicum Seedlings‘ open submission process last fall! Seedlings took a year off from public readings in 2018, and it was such a pleasure to be back, supporting two new plays as part of…
What an incredible experience, working on my new play NOT CAKE in a truly collaborative environment! Gratitude galore to Chelsea Sutton and Lisa Dring for allowing me to be part of Rogue Artists Ensemble’s inaugural Rogue Lab. And for hooking me up with director Estela Garcia, who was the perfect…
Super excited to have been working with a group of incredible artists since last September in the creation of my new play NOT CAKE! Being part of the inaugural Rogue Lab meant that I, alongside writers Lisa Dring, Eric Fagundes, John Guerra, Mildred Lewis & Chelsea Sutton, was challenged to…
I’m very excited that my new play FOOTPRINT, which I began to write early last year at the National Winter Playwrights Retreat and developed through Moving Arts MADlab (with more than a little help from the Playwrights Union!) will be part of The Road Theatre Company’s 9th Annual Summer Playwrights Festival! Working on this play has been a…
I realize that, as I’m writing this, half of this year is over. Right. How did that happen? I feel like I’ve been crazier and busier than ever. Like it’s all coming out of nowhere and then I sit down and think about what’s been going on, and I say,…
