THIS TIME AROUND

School for Lies (21).jpg

One memory stands out: I'm three years old, lathered in green make up, playing Jiminy Cricket at Buttons and Bows preschool. Opposite me, the boy cast as Pinocchio starts to cry - the fake nose is hurting him.  Calmly, I think to my young self... "he doesn't stand a chance in this business."

​

​​

Some of the things I’ve made along the way include:

​

  • Co-creating HomoSapiens, a show about humans.

  • Writing and performing As Soon As You’re Born, a solo show.

  • Co-writing and starring in the offbeat comedy feature Jewtah.

  • Co-writing two other features: The Weekend and The Last 48.

  • Working on “new media” projects: Saint Sarah Shorts, First World Problem, 12 Months of June, Couples, and Dinner with Mom.

  • Helping found Kids Creative Collective, Inc., which brings tuition-free theater training to under-served young artists internationally.

  • Participating in artivism projects like American Journey, Short Plays on Reproductive Freedom, and Norma.

​

Across all of this, I’ve sought roles and projects that demand authority, moral courage, and physical presence—on stage, on screen, and in the communities I create with.
