Joe Dawn is a boy meets girl story. The boy’s Joe, who wears a chimpanzee mask, and the girl’s Shandy, who becomes obsessed with finding out why he does.

Joe Dawn is the story of Joe, a man who wears a chimpanzee mask wherever he goes, Shandy, a woman who becomes obsessed with finding out why, Joe’s girlfriend Dian, a teacher with a skeleton in the closet of her own, and Shandy’s boyfriend Eric, an IT professional whose job it is to make sure nobody has secrets. Joe Dawn is about how Joe and Shandy come together and, ultimately, how they destroy each other. The power of Joe Dawn does not rest in one character, but in the information about them that is accessible with enough digging in the internet age in which we live. Joe and Shandy covet privacy and information, respectively, because they know the damage that can result from having one’s personal business out in the world, and they have retreated to two opposite extremes. When they end up in each other’s orbits, however, the immovable object that is Joe and the irresistible force that is Shandy can only destroy each other with the avalanche of information that they bring onto each other, and their loved ones end up casualties of these actions. In Joe Dawn, “information is power" isn't a cliche, it's a warning that this kind of power is uncontrollable and unstoppable, and it can level lives without a second thought.

This offer of electoral fraud kicks off a story about relationships ruined by politics, the longing for a time that is never coming back, losing even when you win, and how our current political climate seems to have infected every part of our day to day existence.

The Silent Treatment is about a silent strike organized by a men's rights group in a small suburban town. A group of men decide that their concerns are not being heard enough by the town council, so they will not speak until their issues are addressed. They only communicate via email and text, which will all be voiced in the play by female actors who will stand in front of the male actors playing the roles. The women in the town must reckon with the silent men and the impact their silence and the actions they take to compensate for their silence have on their town, their businesses, and their relationships.

A few flakes of snow will change the world forever.

Employing a theatre troupe to reenact the video recordings of the constantly monitored people of Fitustry, she guides the audience through the story that they think they know through social media, the story of a white martyr named Brynn whose sacrifice inspired a revolution, and then shows them the complicated, deeper tale of what caused this dictatorship, how it ended, and what we might learn from it.
