Meet the cast of THRESHOLD, my debut play that is one of the winners of this year’s Ashland New Plays Festival. I’m heading to Ashland, Oregon where we’ll spend next week workshopping the play, culminating in two staged readings. And having Anthony Heald, an actor I’ve long admired, leading this cast is a dream come true. Can’t wait to meet this incredibly talented group of actors, who will be directed by the wonderful Domenique Lozano. Grateful and excited for what’s ahead❤️
Fun weekend in Illinois!
Just spent the most wonderful five days at the Green Mountain Playwright Retreat, immersed in playwright and educator workshops, time to deepen my work, and collaborating with an incredibly brilliant and generous cohort of artists. Plus Bread & Puppet Theater, maple syrup creemees, and the dreamy Vermont landscape. My heart is full.
Honored to have my play “Threshold” selected as a winner of the 2026 Ashland New Plays Festival! I’ll head to Ashland in October for a week of development and readings with incredibly talented directors and actors. So excited!

For the past year, I’ve been writing my first original play…a deeply personal magical realist drama about my father and my ancestors, end-of-life, judicial failures, identity, fascism, and baseball. Today, I had the extraordinary pleasure of hearing it aloud for the first time at a table read with a talented group of actors who brought these words to life in beautiful and unexpected ways. The play is currently a semi-finalist at two national playwriting festivals, which still feels surreal. Turning grief into art is really underrated!
Happy 15th to my wonderful son, Jonah! Watching you grow into the loving, talented, and funny human you are is one of my life’s greatest gifts. Rock on!🤘🏻
