Delighted, just delighted, to announce that my play Fuck Kiss Touch has been one of 33 5-minute plays selected to be part of Cone Man Running’s 5-Minute Mile short play festival.

The festival runs from December 9-19, and it’s going to be epic. On any given evening, some plays will be pre-planned, some plays will be performed by chance, and some will be voted for by the audience! I love this little piece, and I’m excited to share it with audiences!

Come check it out!

I’m excited (and you should also be excited) to come out and support Scriptwriters/Houston at their super-fun-sounding beer-drinkingest event, the Tournament of Monologues.

It’s happening at 7 PM on Friday, Nov. 6 at the Fox and Hound bar, and anyone can participate! Writers just bring some monologues, grab an actor, and have a monologue-off!

If you just can’t get enough of my charming (written) voice, you’re in luck, because I’ll be there–with at least one monologue about meatloaf!

For a few weeks now I have had the pleasure of working as Literary Assistant at the Alley Theatre! The new literary team at the Alley is excellent, and I am very pleased to be a part of all of the exciting developments that are happening this year, including the Alley All New Festival coming up in January!

I will be teaching a course called “Theatre Basics” for middle-school aged students with Old School Summer Camp.

It’s a great after-school and summer care program based near Rice University! My class will be on Tuesday mornings from June 8 to August 15!

Coming up April 16-25, Scriptwriters/Houston will be presenting a festival of short plays called “The Room Plays.” The plays will be presented promenade style, with a guide bringing audience members through a real Houston-area home to watch two short plays in each room.

My play, “Twinings,” will be presented in the Library, directed by Dabrina Sandifer.

I am delighted to announce that I have been selected to direct The Heidi Chronicles, by Wendy Wasserstein, at Rice University. The play is being produced through the Rice Players, an entirely student-run organization, and I am so thrilled to be working with such a talented group!

The Heidi Chronicles will be presented at Hamman Hall on the Rice University campus. Performances will be on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, April 9-18, at 8:00 PM. There will be a talkback with the Women’s Resource Center following the performance on Saturday, April 11.

I had a great time volunteering for the Houston Fringe festival last year, so I’m very excited to be a member of the community board for the 2015 Fringe! I’ll be helping with pre-festival organization, and of course, I’ll be over at the festival all the time this fall!

Houston Fringe Festival 2015 will be September 23-27. More information is available here.
