BRUISE & THORN is a joyous, rollicking ride of a play. Written with fierce love and humor and wit and passion. It dreams big dreams for its fam of characters and gives them permission to be real. Such humanity and wry sweetness in this big-hearted, very funny, queer as fuq play.

THE PLACE THAT MADE YOU is a haunting (in multiple senses) play about the way the past chases us, how grief works on the body, and how the wars we carry inside and out are both gulf and bridge toward re-locating a sense of home when all seems lost. Written with compassion and purpose and an edgy surrealism full of wonder.

A wild, thrilling ride through millennial age activism, coming of age, and finding a way through the consequences of human-made climate change issues. Smart, funny, tender and moving. This play is written with a direct human connection with audiences in mind. It has heart and passion and love, and daring, too.

A heartfelt evocation of loss in a community. Written with an assured point of view, compassion and beautiful outrage. Deceptive on the page - the play sneaks up on you in a quiet manner caught as it is between comedy and tragedy and the complexities of depicting the human condition.
