Artistic Statement

My plays feature distinctive, quirky, humanly flawed women and unique, often gritty locations in and around New England where I grew up. During Covid, when there was little by way of production opportunities but, oddly enough, several calls for horror plays, I tapped into my love for telling ghost stories by the campfire and started creating full evenings of short and scary plays in the mystery/horror genre. I had so much fun and success with this genre that I recently completed my first full-length mystery, Crime Fiction, and am currently working on two more plays in this trilogy.
