MORE ABOUT ME:
I grew up in a haunted house in the wilds of Mt. Prospect, and I've been fascinated by ghosts forever. No wonder they keep bursting into my plays....I’ve always loved storytelling in all its forms. Theatre’s intense connection to humanity keeps me writing for performance.

WHAT I'M WORKING ON:
YELLA JACK, a darkly comic and surrealistic Southern Gothic piece set during the 1878 Memphis yellow fever epidemic, written in pandemic lockdown. 

KEYWORDS:
​Feminist, women, collective trauma, memory, historical, period, surreal, ghosts, Southern Gothic, family, thriller, satire, parody.
