I accept! I joined the Portland Area Theatre Alliance as a board member, and I look forward to helping raise awareness for new works and auditions in the Northwest.

International Theater Arts Institute announced that my performance art play, 72 OBJECTS, was a finalist for its Cimientos reading and development series. Thank you!

A living will provides peace of mind as four stepsiblings divide their anticipated inheritance with generosity…with suspicion…with greed. Gamble the night away, but whatever you do, don’t leave the house—your family is watching.

Once upon a space-time continuum, a scientist married a sculptor and had two kids who lied. In one wild night of discovery, secrets unravel to reveal lost ambitions, lost loves, and lost minds. Physics meets fraud in this exploration of the dimensions of family.

72 OBJECTS was named an O’Neill National Playwrights Conference 2014 semifinalist.

Break out the knives and tomatoes and let’s get this script to the stage!

On the verge of marriage, Ben and Delia attend an avant-garde performance piece where they are invited to use objects on a female subject in any way they desire. Ben’s enthusiasm coupled with Delia’s horror throw them into chaos over their place in the art world. Would you give your life for what you believe?

“But would you were not so. You are my mother.”

I will be playing Gertrude in some performances, including October 10, of LA Women’s Shakespeare Company’s HAMLET.

A performance artist’s sign says, “There are 72 objects on the table that one can use on me as desired.” So they do. Their marriage will never be the same.
