Artistic Statement
Entering my third decade as a playwright, I continue to explore new environments for theater. In 2012 I was awarded a United Arts Professional Development Grant to create the groundbreaking House Theater Project series of live-streamed original theater works, and completed a successful Kickstarter campaign to launch the year-long 13in13 Project, independently producing 13 artistic events, in 13 different locations, in one year. 2022 brought a celebration of 20 years of production with The Hayes Project series of new works, partially funded by the Florida Division of Arts & Culture.
As a playwright, freelance writer, jazz advocate and performance artist I pioneer the cause of local, sustainable art. A full-time freelance writer since 1996, I have written for national and international publications about food, travel and the arts, and was the Dining Critic for Orlando Magazine and Orlando Weekly. I've won five Florida Magazine Association "Charlie" Awards for my food writing.
