Artistic Statement

Artistic Statement

I am excited by new works that take risks and push boundaries, bringing stories to the stage that don’t usually have a platform. I want to do this as both a playwright and a dramaturg.
As a playwright, I am interested in telling stories centering around women. There are not enough complicated women onstage, and we deserve to be seen in all our wonderful complexity. I am particularly fond of using magical or otherworldly elements in my plays to externalize a character's internal life onstage. Theatre gives us the opportunity to make some magic and step outside the confines of a totally realistic mode of storytelling, and I enjoy taking advantage of that opportunity as a playwright.
