I am a theatrical director and playwright. Bringing you my fresh work and take.
Featured Works
And Then There Were Some 
No Rescue Required
Twelfth Night, by William Shakespeare
I’m currently at work adapting and doing pre-audition work for a production of Twelfth Night, opening Valentine’s Day, 2002. Featuring gender-bending casting, original live music, and multi-media elements.
And Then There Were Some
My most recent work, produced in September, 2019, was a murder mystery with multiple endings determined by audience vote. Featuring Det. Annabelle Valentine, the entire cast is comprised of characters I either created or have directed before. Written and Directed by me.
No Rescue Required
A feminist fairy tale, from August 2018. Three sister princesses, Poppy (the warrior princess); Penelope (the scholarly princess); and Persephone (the ambitious & ruthless princess). Through comedic antics they battle a dragon, defend their family, and school hapless Prince Mungo on the nature of real princesses. Also written and directed by me.
The 5 W’s on Me
I am a theatrical director who has also begun playwriting. I started life as a theater person desperately wanting to be an actor. Realizing that really wasn’t something I was particularly good at, I turned to directing and found my passion. This coming February I get to return to my roots, directing a play I didn’t write – but am adapting – Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night.
I write partially to have material to direct that I would want to see – and that I don’t have to pay rights for, for obvious reasons. My writing voice seems to currently be described as “vulgar, cute, & funny” which suits. I began writing in response to provocation and continue to grow and develop with each successive project. I am happily writing my next original work, Come Again No More, a horror play planned for October 2020.
I work in San Antonio, TX where I live with my husband and two Yorkshire terriers. I tool around almost gracefully in my power chair, which I use to mitigate the mobility restrictions created by my disability.
We will either find a way, or we will make one.
