PLAYS
As a playwright, I am not afraid to look into the darkest of places and explore deep systemic patterns of trauma. However, I also believe that the best way to heal those dark places is through the light. I inject my work with imaginative storytelling and a witty sense of humor.
My work embraces the power of the theatrical and heightened reality. Through my plays, I blur the boundaries between fantasy and reality, between the familiar and the surreal, between dreams and waking life. Thus revealing deep emotional truths that are often hidden in the subconscious depths of our everyday lives. My writing is how I connect to something much larger than myself.
The Lion Tamer
Steve, a down-in-the-dumps actor, lands the role of a lifetime — a bizarre gig as the estranged son of billionaire, Joseph Wellington. The old man’s fortune has afforded him a life of ultimate control, but the one thing his money could never buy was his son’s obedience. Will Steve lose himself in the illusion or will he finally learn how to play himself?
A play about fathers, sons, and the things we inherit.
