The opportunity to develop 1999 at Florida Repertory Theatre was this strange, serendipitous intersection of accident and good fortune.
New play development, collaboration
There are conferences, and then there are experiences that recalibrate something in you. Sewanee has been the latter. I arrived with a first draft and a lot of questions. I'm leaving with a stronger play, a clearer sense of direction, and writers I hope to know for the rest of my life. More in the blog — via the link. Thanks to the Metropolitan Arts Council of Greenville for making this possible. #playwright #SewaneeWritersConference #newplay #TheLongestWalk
Bringing 1999 to the stage at WAM Theatre was a dream realized—a collision of art, community, and vulnerability. What began in solitude became something shared, alive, and beautifully out of my control.

After a dream week at the Modern Works Festival in Sarasota, I’ve finally landed back on earth—grateful, inspired, and still replaying every moment.
New play development
Florida Rep New Works Festival
I’m SO pleased to announce my play, 1999, has been selected for Florida Rep’s PlayLab Festival of New Works! I’m going to Fort Myers, Florida for a week to rehearse, revise, and see a professional reading of the play, as well as be introduced to the other new plays and playwrights! I can’t wait! It’s all happening frighteningly (and exhilaratingly) fast.
collaboration
For my 50th birthday, my friend and long-time collaborator Lisa Neely, brought me to Austin to do a workshop and reading of my new play 1999 with her company 3rd Course: Theatre. Collaboration with friends was the best she could’ve given. MAC Arts also supported our endeavor with a generous grant which helped provide a budget for food, copies, and dramaturgical support. We’re so lucky in Greenville to have a thriving arts community, in large part because of MAC Arts’ generous funding.
