I write plays & things shaped like plays. (I also do editorial work + make personal websites!)
I’m interested in experiments of form, small art, & propagandizing for a world that could be, rather than the terrible world that is.
Right now, I’m working on BOIDS 🐦, a play about a men’s group, how to become a “proper man” & gender as surveillance. I’m also co-writing a play called DEBT with my friend Adrian Einspanier, a very loose adaptation of David Graeber’s book of the same name.
My past work includes Isabel (NAATCO),
WORK HARD HAVE FUN MAKE HISTORY (Clubbed Thumb Summerworks), FUTURE WIFE (Theatertreffen Stückemarkt) & Party in A Google Sheet (New Georges).
I’m under commission with Breaking the Binary Theatre and New York Theatre Workshop & a past recipient of the Sundance Institute’s Interdisciplinary Program Grant.
Currently, I’m a resident playwright at New Dramatists, and have been part of Ars Nova’s Play Group, the New Georges Jam, Clubbed Thumb’s Early Career Writers' Group & NYTW’s 2050 Fellowship. MFA: New School of Drama.
