Artistic Statement
My main goal in writing plays is to create works that feature strong female characters. I have found through my experience, that more women come out for auditions than men, and I write roles that will help meet that need!
My stories tend to focus on relationships - mother/daughter, husband/wife, friends, etc. and I like to place those relationships in situations that cause stress, either funny or dramatic.
I like to focus on writing plays that are best performed in small to medium spaces with one set, 4-6 characters and subjects that are relatable to the general audience.
My inspiration comes mostly through real life. An event or experience sparks an idea - "I wonder what would happen if..." Sometimes it turns out funny, sometimes not.
I love telling stories, and while it is something I found later in my life, I hope to keep doing it for quite a long time.
