MORE ABOUT ME
My first production was of my first play, a comedy with music about conjoined twins (1977). With Kate Kasten, I co-founded the women's theatre Actors' Sorority in Kansas City, Mo. In 1981 I founded the Portland Women's Theatre Company in Oregon. I write at least one new play every year. My greatest joy is to see my plays come to life in the hands of a director, actors, designers, and backstage workers. I've been lucky to have that experience many times in my life, and I'm always ready for another!

WHAT I'M WORKING ON
My current play in progress is a sequel to the first play I wrote in 1976. The characters have aged forty years, and are now coping with modern life. It's a comedy.

KEYWORDS
