I am a theatre generalist. While I spend the majority of my working life as an actor, I also do a lot of dramaturgy as literary manager for The Radio Theatre Project in St. Petersburg and as a facilitator for two playwriting groups, one in Tampa and one in western North Carolina. I enjoy reading and working on new scripts and often recommend them to artistic directors with whom I work.

  • The Radio Theatre Project produced Eugenie Carabatsos's play, "Lost Satellites," in 2014. The play tells the story of an estranged brother and sister's road trip. Their GPS is the third character, providing unintentionally insightful and amusing commentary on their relationship's journey toward reconciliation. The piece works beautifully for radio and would be equally effective on stage.

    This delightful play reveals a part of history few know much about--the role of American women aviators in World War II. With the war ending, three of these women face the loss of the vocation they love as American society returns to "normal." Their stories are shown with great emotion, humor, and charm. The period comes alive through the music, dance, and lingo of the day. The personal stories of the women are full of joyful comradery, love, longing, and loss. The play has three great roles for women, two for men.

    This is a relationship play and thriller in one. The extremes to which the central character will go to hold on to her husband are at once shocking and plausible. The play is full of nuanced, believable characters. It moves seamlessly from the present to the past and back again. It is filled with suspense. It plays well on stage, holds the audience's attention, and generates terrific post-show conversation.
