As a young queer woman who has wrestled with anxiety for most of her life, I have always found solace and a sense of home in theatre. When writing plays of my own, I center themes that reflect my own experience and, hopefully, provide others with similar senses of solace and belonging. My work contains throughlines of queerness, community, friendship, and gender minorities, which are discussed using humor and age-specific dialect that create specific and immersive worlds for characters to inhabit. My hope, as I continue to write plays about young queer people and the struggles they face, is to persist in telling stories that allow actors and audiences to discover empathy for, and humor in, themselves and the people around them.
