PLAYS
Daisy Violet the Bitch Beast King
Up in their attic, sisters Josephine and Henrietta create a new sister for their family; she's gleeful and monstrous and embodies everything they've dreamed of: the rage of children, the fury of girls. Plus there's that wild hunger, an explosion of beauty products, a weird doll named Benjamin Franklin.
Upcoming Nov 13–30: world premiere, Feather Fall Theatre, Dairy Arts Center, Boulder, Colorado

A Hundred Circling Camps
During the summer of 1932, over 20,000 people hopped trains to Washington D.C. and camped out to demand fair pay for veterans of the World War. The legacy of the Bonus Army is written into our laws and culture, but the march has been largely forgotten. As America protests and forgets and protests and forgets, what is carried forward? Touching on the Poor People’s Campaign, Occupy Wall Street and other protest camps, A Hundred Circling Camps explores what it means to live in public as an act of resistance.

Staged reading at the Dairy Arts Center, May 13, 2024.
Silo Tree
Lailah guides souls through her house to the world of the dead. Lou and Wiley meet up again after ten years. The coywolves run in the night. Silo Tree is a pause on the bridge, a collection of lives in liminal space, and a memory that rolls forward as its surface is blown backward by the wind.
thing with feathers
Ruby, Jade, and Cove fall in and out of love with each other as their world crumbles. Ruby and Cove sometimes change into birds. Society collapses, and these three queer women find new ways to build their lives. Plus there’s a huge flock of birds. Also a midnight conversation with an owl. Part myth, part apocalyptic fairy tale, part love story, thing with feathers is about survival, transformation, and hope.

When Zadie tries to contact the ghost of her great-aunt, she accidentally summons a chorus of muses aching to be set free.
