So the whole end of last year/beginning of this one has been so hectic that I forgot to post about some exciting developments – my play Your Romeo was one of the recipients of the 2023 Nancy Dean Lesbian Playwriting Award! it’s an honor to be included with some truly great playwrights, and I’m excited to see where this particular script goes from here!

I’m starting the year with some exciting news – my play Tempest in a Teapot will be receiving its world premiere this year in Slightly Askew Theatre Ensemble’s 24th season! They’re a wonderful, envelope- pushing company that is near and dear to my heart. One of my short plays was featured in their first Aphra Behn Festival, so I’m very honored that the prompt for this year’s festival scripts is in part inspired by Tempest in a Teapot as well. It’s a lovely full circle, and I can’t wait to see what folks make of this very strange play come September.

I’m going to be in New York City next weekend for the fabulous Breaking the Binary Festival. I was honored to have been asked to write something for the festival’s finale, Bliss: A Collection of Commissioned Scenes and Monologues. And I can’t wait to see what the incredible L Morgan Lee does with the piece! If you’re in NYC next weekend, come check us out at 7:30pm on Sunday night
