Pomegranate Jam
director, producer, performer
This play-without-words exists as a re-imagining of the Greek myth of Persephone; though puppets, performers and a hauntingly sparse original score, a story emerges of a young woman's negotiation between her relationship with her mother, her budding sexuality and her own vision of her future.
Directed in collaboration with Megan Lewicki, the show garnered rave reviews at the 2014 Edinburgh Festival Fringe, including a cover story and 5-star review in Fest Magazine. "The story unfolds through an elegant mixture of shadow puppetry and dance, all silhouetted on the same screen, merging seamlessly into a single, poetically formed world," writes Fest''s critic Sean Bell.

Chrysalis
writer, producer, performer
Chrysalis is a semi-autobiographical one-woman variety show at the crossroads of grief and growing up. What's a little sister to do without her big brother? The answer comes in fragments: a birthday party, an obnixious roommate, a monster, a dog. Sometimes, growing up means learning who you are in the absence of someone else.
Chrysalis was a selection of the 2012 New York International Fringe Festival, and has been performed on stages on both the East and West Coast, including the Muse Brooklyn, Asheville Community Theatre, San Domenico Theater and Garnet Lane Theatre, PA.

The Grief Party
writer, performer
The Grief Party is an award-winning short film based on Chrysalis. Exploring similar themes, but in a dreamlike visual landscape concocted and executed by director/screenwriter Amelia M. Anderson, the film takes a young woman through the terrain of her house as as metaphor for the inner world of bereavement.

Why is it that when you kiss a frog, he turns into a prince and you turn into a harlot? Or whatever. Based on the original short story Philematophilia by Traci Chee and with an original score and lyrics by Nick Rattray, the play ventures through the enchanted forest (and the halls of your high school) to find the price women pay for expressing love.
