I have curated and produced over 20 new play workshops in New York and Chicago.
I am the co-founding artistic producer for new play development initiatives dedicated to local unproduced and underproduced playwrights, including Freshly Brewed at The Understudy Coffee and Books and New Play Fest at Subtext Studio TC in Chicago, and Whale Watch Fest in New York City.
Other projects include remounting the decades-long development program, the Black Swan Lab, at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival and coordinating the script office at the Eugene O'Neill Theater Center.
From my experience leading multiple script committees and curatorial processes, I have fallen in love with bold, heightened, heart-centered, and earnest new plays, plays that go on a journey (whether literal or metaphorical), and plays that grapple with nuanced, unique and/or social-political topics. As a producer, I am also especially passionate about queer, women, and BIPOC-centered stories.
