Our move from Berkeley to Bellingham in 2011 transformed my theatre life. I formed Bellingham TheatreWorks (www.BellinghamTheatreWorks.org) with a wonderful local director. Our company is dedicated to telling stories of relevance to the Pacific Northwest, with an emphasis on regional playwrights and actors.
I have been a relentless advocate for other writers. I founded Playwrights Cafe (www.PlayCafe.org) in Berkeley in 1998, a theatre writing group. I was executive director of Playwrights Cafe for 13 years. It is still going strong. I was instrumental in creating and implementing "AACT NewPlayFest," (www.AACT.org), the most ambitious new works festival in the nation.
