MORE ABOUT ME
When I'm not writing or panicking about deadlines, I do comedy. My writing is provocative and tends to the dark and political. Sketch writing and improv have literally lightened my spirits and, hopefully, leavened my work. Performing virtually has been rewarding in ways that I would never have expected after working behind the scenes for so long. It has given me a new appreciation for how life giving and flat out joyful our work can be. 

WHAT I'M WORKING ON
Echo Park, a commissioned radio play for Antaeus Theater. A screenplay about Bessie Stringfield. 

KEYWORDS
