As an artist, I feel a responsibility to offer something to my audiences which will force them to think- to ponder their opinion on a specific topic. I write from the female perspective, because after all, that is how I see the world and how the world sees me. As a woman, I know what it feels like to be “the woman” in a room full of men, struggling to be heard, and trying to explain my ideas. Playwriting has given me the greatest platform to share that struggle with audiences. My early plays focused on the quiet crimes against women that have been committed throughout history- the quiet ones that aren’t talked about in history class and are only whispered about in mixed company. I write plays that I would like to see in hopes to force my audiences to start a conversation when they leave the theatre.
