I was a theatre kid. In between my TWO performances as the dog in separate productions of Peter Pan, I fell in love with playwriting and the rest was history. At NYU, I was Co-President/Artistic Director of Broke People Play Festival, for which I wrote and directed pieces and produced multiple festivals each year. My plays have been produced by Found Theater Co in Philadelphia through the Paula Vogel Mentors Project and on public radio through WNYU’s program “Theatre in the Sound.” Below are some of my favorites—contact me to read a sample!
“The Perks of a Doorman Building”
Rocket Play - Approx. 80 min. - An anxious group of rookie astronauts sits strapped in and waiting for liftoff. Amidst their downtime chatter, they become suspicious about holes in their training and begin to reconsider their mission.
The Perks of a Doorman Building - Approx. 70 min. - Rory Baker, the 26-year-old “doorwoman” of a fancy Manhattan apartment building, secretly dreams of becoming a therapist. In an attempt to please the residents of the building and her snarky boss, she tries to practice her therapy skills on them, but along the way she inadvertently creates a sitcom-style web of drama.
Peripeteia - Approx. 50 min. - Lucy, obsessed with philosophy and conspiracy theories, develops a theory that she herself is living in a play.
People Like Avocados - Approx. 10 min. - Zach, a lonely teenager dressed as an avocado, trick-or-treats at the house of Chandler, a lonely 30-something in fluffy slippers.
Relatively Close - Approx. 10 min. - Michael arrives at his new neighbor Bernard’s door with an Edible Arrangement—a housewarming gift. Slapstick comedy ensues when they compare childhood stories and begin to suspect they are long-lost cousins.
