Artist Statement

I write theatre that challenges people to be generous to each other.

My plays explore moments of transition, rites of passage, characters growing into new versions of themselves, and the conflict that comes from people trying their best to take care of each other.

I like imperfections, I like clumsy characters with good intentions, I like quiet humor.

I like a little bit of magic.

I get excited by creating challenges for collaborators, allowing the page to be a jumping-off point for actors, directors, and designers to explore theatricality in transformative ways. I’m also very interested in community-building through theatre. In my work, I want to share specific human stories that can bring an audience together in a shared experience that they can only get at the theatre. I write plays that open people up to laugh, then leave them open to feel something deeper.
