Welcome.

I'm a NYC-based playwright, librettist, and lyricist. 

​I write about: Strong women who know their own minds. Good people driven to do bad things. Sanitation workers. Chasidic Jews. My work is interview/fieldwork-based, exploring the rituals, routines, values, and vernacular of theatrically underrepresented urban micro-communities. I'm ignited by the stories that expand my world.

​Next Up.

• WORLD PREMIERE of TRAYF @ Theater J (Washington DC), May 30th—June 24, 2018.​​

• Reading of The Garbologists at Martha's Vineyard Playhouse August 14, directed by MJ Munafo.
