New Cat On the Block!
Over the past five years, I’ve learned that when you play in the sand with the right people, you can build the most extraordinary of castles. Thrilled to announce that after three beautiful collaborations with a group of my favorite sandbox playmates (Land of Milk & Honey, Pride of the Farm, and The Last Night of Red Barker), I am now officially the newest company member of The Catamounts, a Boulder-based company that creates Theatre for the Adventurous Palate.
Can’t wait to see what worlds we create & I’m so excited to bring all of you along on the ride.

It's been a really wonderful year of reprises, where companies I've had the great pleasure to work with before have asked to re-stage pieces that were considered audience favorites. Following in that path, my good friends at One Night Stand Theatre brought back an earlier piece of mine called End of Innocence. The play is a darkly comic retelling of Hansel & Gretel, where the two sibs battle a crisis of morality as they try to escape imminent death. It was fun to revisit this piece on so may levels, but it was also fascinating to see how much I've changed and grown as a writer since first authoring this short.

In early March, North Carolina's Storefront Theatre reprised their production of my short play Dangling Participles at their Best Of Festival. It was really a lovely surprise to be considered an Audience Favorite and to have the play, once again, grace their stage.

We kicked off our year with two spectacular events back-to-back -- one with Erik Larson and the other with Tommy Orange. Both events were incredibly meaningful to me, though for different reasons.
Seventeen years ago, I did the on-stage moderation for my very first Pen & Podium author – Erik Larson, who was then promoting his spectacular book The Devil in the White City. On January 27, Erik and I got to take the stage together once again. A lot has changed over the last almost two decades, but Erik is still one of the kindest, warmest, most thoughtful and generous of people to host. Such an amazing way to kick off yet another year of authors & books at my beloved P&P.
Hosting Tommy Orange was an absolute dream. I don’t think I’ve EVER hosted an author with such a thoughtful approach to craft. “Writing,” he said, “is always thinking about the reader. And, the act of writing is a communion with the reader. So, even though you are writing in isolation, the writing itself serves a greater purpose: a connection based on words but beyond words.” Truly one of the most memorable events I’ve ever hosted, which is why I’m living in a space of shit-eating-grin gratitude in the photo above.
