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.
