​I'm beyond thrilled!

I am so thrilled that my play From the Perspective of a Canoe was chosen to be a semifinalist in the 2021 Bay Area Playwrights Festival! I have been chasing a placement in a festival for so long, I'm so happy I finally broke through!

Happy to announce that Employee of the Month is an official selection for the 2021 Poor Life Choices Comedy Film Festival!  A very appropriately named festival for this movie to be in.

I am so happy to announce that a new draft of my dark comedy Dorm #5 will be getting a reading at the end of this month with my very own Walking Shadow Readers Theatre! Check it out live on Friday, February 26th on our YouTube Channel!
