Home: Welcome

what am i working on now?

I am currently stage managing All At Once, a new musical by Jack McManus, performing in mid-October at The Tank. My one-act play, Oui (yes, we) has been selected to be produced at Crafton Hills College's 4th Annual One-Acts Festival this coming fall semester. I am also currently in the post-production phase of my short film, Dead Silence, which is based on a scene from my full-length play So Panic

my goals

I am a recent graduate of NYU's Dramatic Writing program at Tisch with a playwriting concentration and double-minor in Producing and American Sign Language. I have been writing for the stage for eight years and performing on it for thirteen. Backstage, I have worked in stage management, directing, fly operation, and stagehanding, as well as producing the occasional short film. As a playwright, I write primarily dramas and dark comedies, focusing on themes of queerness, mental health, and/or dysfunctional relationships, and strive to create representation for those who rarely see themselves on the stage.
