I never thought I’d write for the theatre. I always considered myself an interpreter rather than a creator.
Now, I can’t stop writing.
i wanna thank shelly, adee, jacob, jenell, and lize for pushing me to write. i love you all.
I have a deep love and admiration for playwrights like Sarah Ruhl, Samuel Beckett, and María Irene Fornés. I love beautiful words and meaningful language. I love telling stories about what’s important to me.
I love writing from the perspective of an actor playing a character. It allows me to access a certain creativity that transcends articulated thought.
