ARTIST STATEMENT
As a playwright, the work I am drawn to and want to write is that which sits at the intersection of humor and humanity.
I believe that laughter is a universal access point through which people are able to confront what scares them in earnest and, in doing so, be motivated to affect change in their own lives.
I am an optimist with a tremendous amount of existential dread, but always an optimist. I can find “the funny” almost anywhere, and I only feel afraid when there’s no room for laughter. My mission as an artist is to create as much room as possible.
Thank you so much for finding your way here!
