Originally from Boston with a bi-coastal sensibility, I am an award-winning LA-based playwright, screenwriter, and most recently, a book writer. I write plays that are both epic and intimate, usually about relationships, and always about human connection. I observe characters and situations closely, mining humor in darkness, and finding moments of levity in discomfort. I delve into big themes, yet illuminate them on a human level. Identity, female empowerment, choice-making, resilience, and loss are among the subjects I’ve explored. My work is a blend of the dramatic and the comedic, with some magic and a few curve balls thrown in. I lean into moments of poetry, stillness, and silence amidst the drama. I believe so much truth can be conveyed in the spaces between; the gesture; the soundscape. Healing is often at the center of my work in some form, although it’s not always obvious. My commitment as a playwright, both to myself and to an audience, is to find the emotion in a dramatic situation, and to explore it to its fullest potential.
