I am a television junky. Tina Fey is my hero. I play video-games. I was raised a naturalist, a scientist, a chess player, but at seventeen, I knew I wanted to write fiction. In college, I studied geology, math, engineering, and read books about theatre history and married the love of my life. We had babies. I fixed fighter jets and wrote poetry. Then our son died. There was a long silence. Ten years as a commuter cyclist gave me time to think... and dream. Books on art theory, Dada, Surrealism, Theater of Cruelty, became my companions. I read Aristophanes and I wrote screenplays that got smaller and smaller. The stage seemed the only solution. I joined ScriptWorks and participated in a 10-minute play writing contest, and my play about Gerald Ford went on stage and the director transformed it into a dance that delighted me. I am now a ScriptWorks Board member. I love going to staged readings of new work and talking to writers about keepin’ on, keepin’ on. I have had more productions and I am always surprised and thrilled by how smart, friendly, and hard working theatre people are and how difficult the theatre is.
