I make things, too!
As a writer and theater maker, I am passionate about blending different modes of storytelling, often integrating text- and movement-based narratives. My original works challenge audiences to connect to their imaginations in ways they may not have since childhood. I love to explore what happens when we allow ourselves to let go of the security of the real world and step into the excitement of the magical.
My new play, Gossamer, looks at four vastly different experiences of womanhood--and female artist-hood--through the lens of the ancient art of tapestry weaving. When two sisters, Procne and Philomela, are suddenly transported from the world of ancient Athens to the 21st century home of Cornell art history professor Penelope and her niece Arachne, the four women discover a way of connecting and communicating through artistic collaboration.

We Wove A Web: A Brontë Play
This play moves fluidly between text and dance to tell the story of the Brontë sisters whose novels challenged the strict Victorian society they inhabited and changed the literary landscape forever.
Inferno
Over the course of one night at an exclusive nightclub, audience members descend deeper and deeper through the layers of hell and are challenged along the way to face their own sins and temptations.
