Picture
(Updated 3/7/2023) I have been involved in theatre for over 20 years. It's now a part of me I can't let go! I only started writing plays several years ago and have found a real love for storytelling. All of my plays have strong female characters, and there is always a role I would love lo play as an actor. I write for small to medium theaters and typically have casts of 4-6 characters. I have had numerous staged readings in the Atlanta area and North Carolina, and my comedy, For A Good Time, Mary, has been produced twice. My drama, Trillium, will be produced in North Carolina in 2023 and my TYA drama, Discovering June was a finalist at The Growing Stage in New Jersey. I've also had several productions of short plays in New York, New Jersey and Georgia.

MORE ABOUT ME
The first production I had was in 2019, when my comedy, For A Good Time, Mary was first staged. Hearing the audience laugh at the characters and situations I created filled my heart with joy! I knew I was going to conquer the world as a playwright. Since then, I've had many successes, but I have also learned there are many disappointments. For every one hundred submissions you might send out, only a handful are accepted. Sometimes, it can be discouraging, but a fellow writer told me once, "Your work wasn't what they were looking for this time around, but I am proud of you for sending it out!" I have that quote printed and taped to my computer monitor, so I never forget! All my years in theatre have brought me to this point, and I hope I never stop writing!

WHAT I'M WORKING ON
Submissions and a new drama.
