As a 25/26 New Play Residency awardee with DCASE and the Chicago Cultural Center, I’ve had the opportunity to develop Daybreak. Co-written with Jacob Watson and songs by Laura Stratford, this play takes place on land, at sea, and in outer space.

Site Lines is a collection of plays and essays from Second Site’s history of creating theatre in Chicago. This anthology investigates the ways that site-inspired theatre serves as a unique theatre practice as well as a community-building tool.

My favorite way to write plays is in the rehearsal room with actors. The Cornbread Kid was developed at Saint Leo University with my theatre students. The play, written for young audiences, is available for licensing by Pioneer Drama Services.

As a Community Engagement instructor with Straz Center for the Performing Arts, I teach theatre and help the teen residents at Metropolitan Ministries write and perform their own original plays. You caan see their work in the Straz Center’s 2026 BIPOC Play-reading Festival.

Lyric Opera of Chicago commissioned me to write the script/book for a new musical in collaboration with Tellin’ Tales Theatre. We developed Freedom OUT OF ORDER, an interview-based concept musical. This collaboration led to a touring children's version of the musical and Always Greener, a full-length musical.

In 2025, I was a selected artist and grant recipient for Hillsborough Community College’s multi-disciplinary Now on View Festival. I wrote and directed the site-specific play, Ybor Interrupted. This immersive comedy took place in the historic Kress Building.
