MORE ABOUT ME
Theater is thrilling. Saw my first Broadway play in high school and was hooked as an audience member. Had my first short play produced a few years ago after decades of wanting to write for the stage, and was hooked on playwrighting. Nothing replaces the live theatrical experience shared by everyone suspended together in space and time for the duration of the play. Magic.
WHAT I'M WORKING ON
Two full length and several one act plays are in progress.
