I write and direct for the stage, screen, and listening ear. Favorite projects include Eye of the Sandman, a feature film from Split Pillow Films, Earth to Margaret, an original musical that premiered at the Acorn Theatre, Oscar Wilde’s Picture of Dorian Gray, an adaptation commissioned for Flying Leap Radio Theater, and Infernal, a new play developed at the La MaMa Umbria International Playwright Retreat.
My prose and poetry have been published in After Hours, Swivel, and Crawdad Literary Journal, and my films have screened at the Chicago Short Comedy Video & Film Festival, Around the Coyote, and the Midwest Independent Film Festival. I have performed solo work at the Stockyards Theatre Women’s Performance Art Festival and SpeakEasy/SpeakHard: the Malinowski salon. The Chicago Reader was kind enough to praise my “wonderful ear for dialogue and the natural humor of family and romantic situations.”
I received a BA from Lawrence University in Appleton, Wisconsin, and an MFA from Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois. I’m a member of the Dramatists Guild and the Playwrights Network at Chicago Dramatists.
