My mission as a playwright is to focus on expanding the scope of the stories we tell. I love when someone or something is in the wrong place. I’m a first generation Haitian-American who grew up in a small mountain town in Pennsylvania. Whenever I hike in the woods at home, someone inevitably stops me to make sure that I know where I am. They, kindly, ask me if I am lost. To them, I am in the wrong place. The same could be said about my writing. Since my work dismantles the stories we tell ourselves, I often engage with myths, tales of fantasy and science fiction. These heightened spaces often put people into distinct boxes because of their race, gender and class. So, I like to use these spaces to examine the lives of women and people of color. This way I can break those boxes by challenging who gets to be a “hero” or a “lover" or “tragic”. There are so many people who are invisible, purely because they don’t fit the story told about them. My work strives to widen that narrow narrow footpath.
