Playwrights’ Center Core Writer 2024-2027

It’s genuinely a dream come true for me to share that I’ve been selected as a 2024-2027 Playwrights’ Center Core Writer. I grew up in Minnesota, and so much of my work is inspired by my experiences as the granddaughter of a bunch of German Lutheran farmers playing pretend in the middle of a corn field. I’ve wanted to work with the Playwrights’ Center for a long time, and I’m SO excited to develop my work back in the place that (despite moving two or three states since then) still feels like home in so many ways.

Here’s a little selection from the announcement:

Tomorrow Game at Barter Theatre Jan. 28

Beyond thrilled to share that my play TOMORROW GAME will be featured by Virginia’s Barter Theatre in an online reading as part of their Appalachian Festival of Plays and Playwrights! Tomorrow Game is one of four new plays being supported by Barter in the festival, which is entirely free online and will have events spanning Tuesday, Jan. 26-Saturday, February 6.

TOMORROW GAME is directed by Associate Artistic Director Nicholas Piper and stars Barter resident actors Kim Morgan Dean and Paris Bradstreet.

The readings are recorded and lightly edited for a smoother zoom experience, and also received 6 hours of workshop prior to the recording! So, if you’re familiar with TOMORROW GAME you may still want to drop by for the very latest draft! Registration for the festival is here. The video will drop at noon on Thursday, January 28 and audiences will have all day to watch and the opportunity to tune in at 8:00 PM for a live discussion of the play, with feedback from a panel.

I can’t wait to see you there!

Previous support for the development of TOMORROW GAME includes the Edward Albee Foundation and the Kennedy Center. TOMORROW GAME was a recipient of the Kennedy Center’s Harold and Mimi Steinberg National Student Playwriting Award, and was a finalist for the Princess Grace Award.
