Current & Upcoming Projects

Thank you for checking in!

• My commission with the Alley Theatre, The Brainstormers & Their Cosmic Mission, is touring schools, libraries, camps and community centers around Houston in May and June of 2025. A few public performances will also happen at the Alley as well, for which tickets are on sale now.

• I’m also currently revising the sequel/sister play to Tooth & Tail, called The Open Potion. It had a wonderful staged reading with Wordsmyth Theatre in October 2024. More to come soon!

•My full-length playwriting class, The Curious Playwright: Curiouser & Curiouser, is back in session this summer. The class is SOLD OUT, but fall offerings will be posted soon. Join the mailing list at Grackle & Grackle to take a future class with me - or any of their other amazing teachers!

As we bask in the warmth of another summer, I hope the stories of other writers continue to feed your heart and mind. You can always find a delicious play or monologue to read at www.newplayexchange.org.
