MORE ABOUT ME:
What play or production changed your life? WHEN YOU COMIN' BACK, RED RYDER? I auditioned on a whim; acting in that ensemble production terrified and thrilled me and pushed me into the theater. What's the one thing (almost) nobody knows about you... I used to work for John McEnroe and Tatum O'Neal. What is your favorite thing to do when you're not writing? Daydream. Listen to podcasts. Oh, and watercolor - I'm quite terrible at it but I'm also kind of obsessed.

WHAT I'M WORKING ON NOW:
Several things: I GOT YOU, a play about a wildly talented but self-destructive athlete; GHOST TREES, a play about wildfires and an imploding family; I'm also working with songwriter Gary Negbaur on an UNTITLED Christmas musical and am in post-production for my film CONSIDER THE SPARROW.

KEYWORDS:
​Tragi-comic, strong female leads, politics, faith, musical theater, librettist, magic realism, young audiences, journalism and media, holiday, Christmas, Halloween, climate.
