MORE ABOUT ME
I keep doing theater because it makes me feel connected to humanity. I have connections (spouse, friends, family), but I think we all long for an understanding about what it means to walk on this earth and live and feel and want. Theater fills that desire in a unique way I rarely find elsewhere. If I can assist others in finding that understanding, that completeness - it is the ultimate gift. And it's quite a rush!

WHAT I'M WORKING ON
I am working on a full-length play about the experience of being forced to leave one's country in the hopes of finding Someplace Better.

KEYWORDS
Feminist, comedy, humanity
