As a history-obsessed 12-year-old, Emily Driver uses her YouTube channel to celebrate landmark moments of activism and change. So when her request for a needed wheelchair is denied, she takes matters into her own hands – and launches into a time-travelling trip across the country where she meets trailblazing leaders from the past who have fought for equal rights. Co-written with Gregg Mozgala and originally comissioned by La Jolla Playhouse and National Disability Theatre, EMILY DRIVER'S GREAT RACE THROUGH TIME AND SPACE follows a young woman's journey as she learns the power of speaking up, and how one voice can inspire others to fight the forces of ableism and create a more equitable world.

In 1843, a twenty-three year-old intersex man named Levi Suydam asked the town board of selectmen in Salisbury, Connecticut to validate his right to vote in a hotly-contested local election.
This play is not about that election.
A synthetically-fragmented fantasia about voting rights, elections, American society, and, yes, the ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW, DAMOCLES follows Levi on his quest for equal rights, and also questions and satirizes the cis-hetero power structures on which our country's founders built our nation.

And what does this mean for their futures—and for April's?
God is Dead & April's Getting Married examines the tenuous nature of memory and reality while exploring the intersections of queerness, religion and friendship. This time-bending comedy-drama strives to answer one of life's most hotly debated questions: do people ever truly change?
