“My goal is to learn, let go, and get out of my own way to become my authentic playwriting self.”

My stories are inspired by the history around us: an examination of one's past, and a look at how their present creates a moment in the history of a world. I don’t write history plays per se, but I look at playwriting like an historian; as ward of a story, who takes a deep dive into the past and present of a character and their circumstances, and then builds an active narrative for performance, which an audience can then decide its importance. Once the first draft is on the page, I work toward reconciling the competing voices in my head; between objectivity, subjectivity and an open heart of discovery, to the best of my ability. My hope is to keep my mind open to new discoveries along the creation's journey; then revise and ponder and revise and ponder and more revision and ponderance to work toward a better understanding of the discreet contradictions between the physical state of a character and their nuanced essence. Learning, all the while, to trust the process.
