|
Lady and Lord’s daughter, Jules, is dead, and someone must pay.
Except, in Mantua, Jules is alive. (Probably. Sometimes she’s not sure.) Her husband Ro, haunted by kills, isn’t sure he deserves to be alive. Also the earth is heating up and we’re all gonna fucking die anyways so is love enough when you aren’t sure that love exists? A Romeo & Juliet adaptation-of-sorts, WHEN SHE WENT TO MANTUA tackles the ways we grapple with the ghosts of our past -- before time runs out. *Staged reading, Black Cat Theatre, Chicago, 2024 *Workshop, Lovers & Madmen/Northwestern University, 2021 |

I LIVE OTHER LIVES
2W/1M
|
Spending her teenage years in a warzone, Larysa escapes into the Sims video game to imagine what her life could be without curfews, blackouts, and air raids. She envisions new towns, new jobs, and even new worlds, but epic fantasies might not be enough for a girl just wanting things to go back to normal. * Awarded special commendation for representation of Ukrainian culture * Commissioned as part of Uncovered Scenes from Ukraine festival, 2025 |
MONDAY MORNING STILL IN THE PARK WITH GEORGE
1W/1M

Lizzie is trying really hard to do some viral activism. George is trying really hard to not have some girl's activism make his workday involve extra paperwork. A fresh ten-minute comedy, MONDAY MORNING STILL IN THE PARK WITH GEORGE invites all of us to reevaluate which causes we're willing to fight for, and what role art plays in that fight. *Winner, Judge's Choice Award, Edmonds Driftwood Players' 12th Annual Festival of Shorts |
