I make theatre for audiences of all ages.
I write, perform, produce, direct and seek out ways to bring people together. I’m particularly inspired by work for young audiences and the plays of Anton Chekhov. I’m passionate about theatre-making as a way to create and sustain community.
Bears Tonight!
I wrote Bears Tonight! after dreaming up a family of bears while I was on a road trip and wondering how they would respond when their dreams conflicted with their need for rest. It became a show about making art together, working through anxiety, listening to your body, and finding ways to support the people you love.
The show was awarded a development residency in Pezzolo, Sicily at Trinacria Theatre and was a Performance for Young Audiences Award Winner in the Cannonball Festival. Bears Tonight! premiered in the Philadelphia Fringe Festival in 2024 and a new production is currently touring through the Education Tour from the Walnut Street Theatre.
The Petra and Mo Show
The Petra and Mo Show is a puppet musical about being together and saying goodbye. I began developing it in 2019 as I was processing some of the challenges that come with transitions in life and relationships. The show has had multiple productions since then, including tours across Mount Desert Island and Midcoast, Maine.
If you’re interested in the show, let me know - it continues to find life in new ways and connect with new audiences interested in the ways that music and puppets can bring life to bigger feelings and ideas.
