MORE ABOUT ME
Most gratifying moment of theater: ONCE IN MY LIFETIME (A Buffalo Football Fantasy), a commissioned play in which the Buffalo Bills win the Super Bowl. It was a play for and about a specific community and it brought people into theater who had never been before, had no idea what it was, but who left experiencing the magic. The sad thing? Nobody knows about it, because it happened in the regions. I wish the industry paid more attention to what happens in the regions. 

WHAT I'M WORKING ON
A solo show called ESMERANDA'S GIFT (Or How To Make A Crossword Puzzle And Solve Your Life), a comedy called FINDING NEIL PATRICK HARRIS, an audio soap, and a screenplay because I can spare the downtime to finally learn!

KEYWORDS
comedy, holiday, seriocomedy, adaptations, LGBTQ, historic, radio plays, classic revisited, provocative, strong female leads
