My storytelling is inspired by the chaos of growing up in my family’s Italian restaurant in Jersey, my love of myths, mysteries and magical realism, my background in education (from substitute teacher to adjunct professor) and my desire to bring to light the lives of extraordinary women who you most likely never heard of. The through-line of all my work is that womanhood is messy. What I love about being a playwright is that I get to explore all different angles of "messy"--a complex, tangled and beautiful canvass of semi-organized disorder. And while I dig deep into the messiness (and darkness) of life, I will always do my best to find the humor and hope in each play to pull you through.
