So excited to share that my play "Circle Forward" will be getting its World Premiere at Gulfshore Playhouse, the amazing LORT regional theatre in Naples, FL, in January 2026!

This play was born in the Playwrights Union New Play Challenge 2021, then workshopped at Antaeus Theatre "Lab Results" Reading Series 2022, the Gulfshore Playhouse New Works Festival 2023, and the Durango Playfest (CO) in 2024.

A big heap of thanks to all the actors, directors, dramaturgs and audience members who had a hand in shaping and improving the play along its path, and a toast to those who will bring it to life again with me next January!

Here’s the BroadwayWorld announcement! More info to come soon.

The opening of the World Premiere of "Miss Keller Has No Second Book" at Gulfshore Playhouse in Naples, FL was wonderful. The design team created a magical world full of haunting original music and breathtaking sets, lights, and costumes. The crew -- both backstage and front of house -- were as professional as they were fun to hang out with. And the entire cast (Amy Van Nostrand, Maureen Silliman, Alex Grubbs, James Lloyd Reynolds, and Hannah Mae Sturges), led by director Emilie Beck, was outstanding.

All that was just my "review," simply as the person who wrote the thing. Here's what Florida Weekly had to say: “'Miss Keller Has No Second Book' is one of those rare things in theater: a new play that works on all levels, has a superlative cast and grabs your heart and won’t let go." BroadwayWorld says our show "is most definitely a premiere you will not want to miss." Naples Daily News says "riveting as well as enlightening."

I couldn't be more proud of this show. This production runs until April 15. Tickets and more info available here.

I'm such a lucky playwright to have these amazing artists bring my play to the stage for the first time. Gulfshore Playhouse, in Naples, FL, brought these actors (and our director) in from New York City and Los Angeles, to work with the amazing GP staff.

Is it weird that every play I've had produced features at least one beat-up recliner? IS THAT WEIRD?

So excited that my play "Miss Keller Has No Second Book" is getting a production at Gulfshore Playhouse, where it was workshopped in 2016 as part of GP's New Play Festival! It will open March 31, 2018 at their theater in gorgeous Naples, FL.

More details to come so stay tuned!
