I write for the theatre because I dream about being in a room with actors and a director. All of us working together to build the mountain as we climb it - what bliss! I enjoy writing stories and characters that challenge the creative team to rise. I hope when they read the script they think, “Wow, I can’t believe I actually get to do that.” But also, “Holy shit, how the hell will I pull that off?” I write to surprise people, to stretch them - myself included.

I also write because writing is fucking hard. So many products promise to make our lives easier. More efficient. And so much of the content we are served online has been curated because it will not challenge our understanding of our place in the world. Choosing to do something difficult is my quiet protest.

I write queer characters living complicated lives so that we queers can see ourselves on stage and queer actors can play roles they connect with. Even when the stories aren’t about members of the LGBTQ+ community, my writing has a joyfully queer quality. I write to explore the strange, the surprising, and the weird in the every day.

I love that plays can bring people together, and I endeavor to push myself creatively with each new project I create. Let's make something together, shall we?
