I have a brand new one act play that's CREEPY and WEIRD and going up as part of Pipeline Theatre Company's Matchstick Series January 16-18. It'll be one of eight new little plays built around the theme "Anywhere But Here."
So many cool folks, directors and playwrights! Find out the full list here.
Pages from a BRAND NEW PLAY about the First Man and the Last Man and also sort of space and sea travel. This is a little monologue from The First Woman.
WOMAN
Once, a bird gave me a nut. It flew from the sky and landed at my feet with a nut in its mouth and gave it to me. And I thanked the bird and it flew away. And I have held onto that nut since I was young. I don’t know what it is for but it is from heaven. I hold onto it and hold onto it and sometimes at night by the fire I just set it very very close to my eyes so it’s the only thing I can see. I can’t even see my man or my babies. I just look at the nut. It is brown and smooth and shiny near the fire. I love it.

Very very excited to be able to officially say that I'm going to be participating in Pipeline Theatre Company's PlayLab 2014-15 this season. Alongside the exciting talents of Salty Brine, Sarah Einspanier, Adam Fried, Jerry Leiblich, Rachel Music, and Jeremy Wine. Super cool!
I'm writing a play that's sort of about man and myth and science and space and time travel and I can't say much more about it because I literally don't know and isn't that exciting! We're official. We're hip. We're with it. We're Pipeline's PlayLab Class of 2015.
