Onwards and Upwards!

Wonderful news! I've been selected as a 2016-2017 Van Lier New Voices Fellow at The Lark!!

 My first year out of grad school is shaping up to be a useful one.  I've yet to firmly outline the terms of my fellowship and next steps, but I am most excited for the chance to rewrite Thirst, do concerted work on new scripts, and network in this wonderful business I call home.  Mostly, I am grateful to the wonderful folks at The Lark for deeming my work worthy.  I've yet to meet them all yet, but so far Lloyd Suh and Andrea Hiebler seem wonderful and encouraging in all the right ways. 

More info on the fellowship itself can be found here, as can info on my fellow Van Lier recipient Donja R. Love.  

I know that Donja and I are in for a stellar year, and I can't wait to dig right in!

TIl next time, ya'll!

Farewell Graduate School!

,

Last night I completed the final portion of my MFA degree, and I'm feeling pretty excited and terrified for next steps! More than anything I want to thank the cast and director of my reading for their time and the love they showed my work.  This play feels like it's become a part of my body at this point, so watching it grow before me thanks to their stupendous work was an indescribable feelings.  Suffice it say, the theater is magic and I hope to work in this world with such magnificent artists forever.  

Below I've included the program and a photo of me with the most wonderful cast I've ever worked with.  This way, I never forget this step toward the future.  This way, I never forget that indescribable feeling and continue to seek it forever. 

Farewell to this incarnation of Thirst, and I can not wait for its continued life *fingers crossed*.
