Statement:

I am a playwright living in Seattle, WA. I find the use of theatre as a tool for philosophical dialogue to be incredibly fascinating and important. I am not interested in theatre which is presented merely to entertain. While I see a definite place for this within society, I think it is just a personal fault of my own to not be able to contribute and participate in it.

Background:

I graduated in 2006 from the University of Washington with Bachelor's Degrees in Drama & Philosophy. I have received playwriting training from Shanga Parker.

I have written 4 complete One-Act Plays:

"Can I Be Your Memory"

"The Script"

"The Shark"

"The Worm"

I am currently working on a new full-length play in 3 acts.

I have also experimented in poetry & short-form fiction.

I have one completed Short Story

Upcoming:

Currently Running: "The Shark" and "The Worm". Two One-Act Plays. Presented by Emerald City Scene at Stone Soup Theatre. Fri-Sun. April 11-May 3rd.
