PLAYS
WHY WE HAVE BOOK CLUB
Every month, college friends Mac, Audrey, Lia, and Sarah meet for Book Club to talk about literature (their lives), favorite authors (each other), and to analyze plot and character (to drink.). Through book club meetings, phone calls, and therapy sessions, the play follows the four women over the course of four years as they grow, get married, grapple with sexual identity, have children, lose family members, and fail/succeed at loving each other. A play about the closeness and danger of intimate female friendships. Half in a world of full-hearted and quick paced naturalistic realism, and half in the hazy, strange poetic place we go to when confronting ourselves. A comedic shot to the heart.
​
WHY WE HAVE BOOK CLUB has been developed with De Frente Productions, HB Studio, The Bechdel Group, and 3 Days Prior. It was a finalist for the 2022 Jane Chambers Award for Feminist Playwriting . It was also a semi finalist for the SheNYC festival and a quarterfinalist for the Screencraft Play Competition.
DOUBLE TAP

The play deals with the aftermath of Kate's disappearance. As a result of losing Kate, the remaining five friends discover the ways they themselves are lost. They speak honestly about female friendship, fall in love, come to terms with sexual identity, and try to find Kate. They ultimately find each other.
​
DOUBLE TAP had a developmental reading at Atlantic Theatre Company in 2019, and was a semifinalist for the National Playwright's Conference and the Thomas Wolfe International prize.
DEAR COLLEGE,
The eldest May child Declan is USC-bound, straight white male "perfection." When he leaves for college, his younger sister Keely resolves to do whatever it takes to join him there-- even though her scores definitely aren't up to snuff. She enlists the help of her gifted adopted sister Molly to tutor her. Meanwhile, her parents enlist the help of a Rick Singer-like "college counselor" offering guaranteed admission for Keely, to the tune of 50,000. A story about privilege, female intelligence, and what we're left with when secrets come to light.
