My life as a “trailing spouse” has included stops in Washington DC, Atlanta, Honolulu, and now Tallahassee. My work has won the Source Theatre Company National 10-Minute Play Contest, the Larry Neal Writers Award for Drama, the Virginia Playwriting Prize, and twice been nominated for a Helen Hayes Award.

My ten minute play, The New Client, was published in Best Ten Minute Plays of 2019 (Smith & Kraus). My full-length play, Memorial Day, was read in Kumu Kahua Theatre’s Dark Nights series in Honolulu, named a Finalist (one of eight out of 1,243 entries) in the first Moss and Kitty Carlisle Hart New Play Initiative, and presented in the 2021 Unexpected Play Festival coproduced by Atlanta’s Theatrical Outfit and Working Title Playwrights.

I am a member of the Dramatists Guild, New Play Exchange, Playwrights Center, and Working Title Playwrights
