"She’s matched in brilliance by the smooth, naturalistic portrayal of Ariana by Maddie Powell...Together, these two young actors really make this production come alive and sizzle."

IN THE REHEARSAL ROOM

I believe in a balance of professionalism and play. I believe in showing up early and prepared, but with a sense of wonder in tow. I believe that the quality of our work depends on the strength of our community.

MY WORK AS A WRITER

MY PHILOSOPHY

My writing creates new worlds with absurd rules to make you laugh. And to poke some holes in the rules of our own world. But mostly to make you laugh. Here's my New Play Exchange. Up next: a reading of my play We Sent Her to the Sea on 3/17 at The Understudy.
