Ballet for Aliens (written with Gerard Hernandez and O. Kokai-Means)

Jacob is 8. He loves ballet, Pokedudes, and turkey sandwiches. He does NOT love Chron's disease, chemo, or dealing with nurses who can't get the IV in on the first try. Sophie is his nurse. Or possibly an alien. Or possibly a friend. A play in process written with an 11 and a 12 year old (new draft uploaded 1/31/2021).

    I caught a reading of BALLET FOR ALIENS this past weekend, it's an incredibly imaginative, touching, and funny new short play for young audiences. The characters are complex and captivating, my kids and I both wanted to spend more time with them. The play also doesn't shy away from complicated/hard topics, like fear of needles and living with a Chronic illness, nor does it ever talk down to children.
