This weekend, I'll be traveling back up to Canton, New York, to see St. Lawrence University's production of my play The Amphibians! I had a great time guest-lecturing on campus last month, so I'm extra-excited to see the students' work and what they've done with my script.

Directed by Angie Sweigart-Gallagher, the play features performances by Kelvin Harriot, Kylie Mandigo, Aubrey Pickeign, Faith Rhinehart, and Nathan Tejeda, with stage management by Raven Sillence and Ella McConnell. The show runs November 13th–16th, and tickets can be purchased here. 

Big thanks to SLU for producing my work. Come by the theater to check it out if you're in the area!

In just a week, I'll be at it again with my friends at Sundown Collaborative Theatre, who produced my play The Amphibians this past summer. This time around, they'll be tackling my 10-minute horror play "Duckass" as part of their Stage Frights! Short Works Festival 2025. 

This Halloween-themed festival will feature more than 20 short plays, with several different programs. "Duckass" is being directed by the great Lindsey Hall and features the talents of Gabrielle Perkins, Carrissa Davis, and Trey Thornton.

The whole festival runs October 30th through November 2nd, then again from November 6th through November 9th. All shows are at the Theatre Denton Annex in Golden Triangle Mall. Click here for tickets and specific show dates.

Big thanks to Sundown Collaborative Theatre for taking a chance on me again. Be sure to check out the festival if you're in the Dallas–Fort Worth Metroplex!

This past week, I've had the pleasure of being a visiting artist at St. Lawrence University in Canton, New York. They're producing my play The Amphibians in November, and I've spent my visit on campus talking to students about playwriting, pop culture, eco-theatre, and more.

Today, I'll be leading a lecture called Forests and Fandoms, where I discuss the intersection of these topics and how it can inform one's own artistry. It'll be fast, informative (though hopefully informal!), and fun. If you're in the area, come on by and hang out! Info at this link and below. Big thanks to all the wonderful folks at St. Lawrence for treating me so well this week!

 Hello! It's been a minute, and I've admittedly fallen a bit behind on updating this space. A couple quick announcements:

– My play The Tusk Hunters was a Finalist for this year's Princess Grace Fellowship In Playwriting.

– My collaborator Dina Vovsi and I will be further developing the play through a residency at Nancy Manocherian's cell theatre. Puppeteer Betsy Rosen is also onboard, and in July 2026, we'll be presenting another reading of the play, complete with a full-size woolly mammoth puppet that we'll be building. Stay tuned for exact dates, and in the meantime, read more about our work and the other 2025/2026 residents here. 

Oh, and as a final bonus, check out some custom artwork below for The Tusk Hunters, created by the amazing comic book artist Ben Granoff. 

I'll have plenty of other exciting announcements coming in the fall, so stay tuned!

My play KAIJU is having a reading this week with The Road Theatre as part of their 16th Annual Summer Playwrights Festival! It'll take place on Thursday, July 16th, at 8 p.m. at their theatre space in North Hollywood (10747 Magnolia Boulevard, North Hollywood, CA). Here's a brief synopsis:

Two 250-foot-tall monsters debate the morality of the destruction they just caused. A group of human theatergoers argues after the play they just watched. Destruction becomes conversation and conversation becomes destruction in this satire of monster movies, post-show talkbacks, and the self-cannibalization of live theatre.

The reading is being directed by Ryan McRee and features an all-star cast of Road ensemble members, including Leandro Cano, Cherish Monique Duke, Clay Hollander, Jessica Jade Andres, Nicole Royster, Chase Cargrill, Krishna Smitha, Michelle Gillette, and Kate Huffman. Phew! Click here for tickets.

I'm especially excited about this because KAIJU, despite being written five years ago, has never had an in-person public reading, and given the subject matter of the play, it's kind of crucial. It'll also be my first full-length being presented in Los Angeles (or anywhere in California for that matter).

So if you're in the LA area, come on out and say hi and stay for the talkback afterward. It should be a ton of fun. Big thanks to Ryan and the team, and to The Road for supporting my work!

Tickets for Sundown Collaborative Theatre's production of my play The Amphibians are now live! If you're in the Dallas-Fort Worth area (or plan on traveling here), click here to nab 'em.

Sundown has been a dream to work with, keeping their commitment to the show after it had to be postponed a full year. The show dates are July 27th–29th and July 4th–6th, Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 p.m. and Sundays at 2:30 p.m. All shows are at the Theatre Denton Annex (2201 S Interstate 35E), with an ASL-interpreted performance on July 6th. Check out the official poster art below, designed by Ames Brennan, and watch this space (and theirs!) for press, show photos, and more.

Big thanks to director Taylor Hoyt, the stellar cast and crew, and Sundown as a company for being so adventurous and treating my work with such care! This one's gonna be special.

On June 12th, my play The Tusk Hunters will be having a reading with The Workshop Theater as part of their Lab Series! I'm a huge fan of these folks and developed the play with them as part of their Winter Intensive back in 2023. So it's great to see it get a more fully realized presentation in front of an audience.

The reading takes place at Open Jar Studios (1601 Broadway) on Thursday, June 12th, at 3 p.m. It'll be directed by my frequent collaborator Dina Vovsi, featuring Peter Bradbury, Peter McNally, and Erik Lochtefeld, with stage management by Olivia Mancini. Tickets are pay-what-you-can and be purchased here.

Big thanks to The Workshop for supporting my work, and hope to see you there!

In just a couple of weeks, a reading of my play The Tusk Hunters will be going up as part of Gloucester Stage's Water's Rising Festival, an annual showing of new plays that explore the climate crisis. For my money, it's a very important and unique festival that has some vital ties to the theatre company's community. Here's what Gloucester Stage has to say about it:

The theater’s home in Gloucester has more than 62 miles of shorelines, with the building itself located in FEMA’s high-risk flood zone. What makes this location a beautiful destination contains an equally foreboding future as we see sea levels rise year after year. We are excited to present WATER’S RISING for our second year. By pairing art with advocacy, we can deepen our connection to our earth’s future.

Developed extensively last year with The Civilians' R&D Group, The Tusk Hunters focuses on the morality of woolly mammoth de-extinction and its viability as a method to combat climate change. Sub-themes include masculinity over time and the toll scientifically revolutionary ideas take on those tasked with actually executing them. The reading is directed by Alex Lonati and takes place on Sunday, April 27th, at 7 p.m. Two other wonderful plays, TERRA FIRMA by Barbara Hammond and Mox Nox by Patrick Gabridge, will also be happening over the weekend. Each reading is followed by a talkback and discussion with a climate expert. Click here for tickets.

Enormous thanks to Gloucester Stage for developing my work and creating such a locally (and globally) potent festival. See you in Massachusetts!

It's been a minute! I'm coming out of hibernation to announce that my short play "Wound Woman" is being produced by Chicago's Otherworld Theatre as part of their 7th Annual Science Fiction & Fantasy Paragon Festival. The festival runs April 17th through 27th at Otherworld's bustling theatre space in Andersonville (3914 N Clark St) and features a ton of really cool genre plays.

"Wound Woman" is a short script I wrote over a decade ago for a play festival in Tallahassee, Florida, so I'm really excited to see it go up in Chicago—my favorite city in the world and the one that still feels the most like home. It runs as part of the festival's Fantasy & Fairytales program, with performances on April 19th, 24th, and 27th at 8:30 p.m. Click here for tickets, the full festival schedule, and more info.

Big thanks to Otherworld for supporting my work. And watch this space in the coming weeks for more announcements about a ton of exciting projects that are getting some new life. More soon!
