“Lab Results” Reading Series features brand new works from five playwrights selected from the Antaeus Playwrights Lab. Here’s the synopsis of “Circle Forward:” Seventeen years after the loss of her young husband from cancer, Mia meets a teenager, Ethan, who believes he is the reincarnation of her late husband. When Ethan and his mom Lexi come to Mia's house for lunch, Mia must face her doubts, her past, and the whole truth.

So pleased that a monologue I’ve written will appear in The Best Women’s Stage Monologues 2022, due out in December, from Smith & Kraus.
The monologue is one from my newest play, “Circle Forward,” which was written in 2021 and featured in the Playwrights Union “First Peek” Reading Series in June 2021. The play was also developed in the Antaeus Theatre Playwrights Lab. I’m so proud to be included in this collection!
Join me for a free Salon event featuring my one-act radio play “90024: Westwood – “ALL INFORMATION HEREIN IS CLASSIFIED” commissioned by Antaeus Theatre Company as part of their inaugural Zip Code Plays series!
On April 17 at 7:00 pm Pacific time (USA), there will be a FREE live panel discussion (over Zoom) co-presented by Antaeus Theatre Company & The Westwood Village Improvement Association.
We’ll begin the event by listening to the 30-minute play, which will be followed by a discussion with me and Director Carolyn Ratteray, Artistic Director Kitty Swink, and Executive Director of the Westwood Village Improvement Association, Andrew Thomas. Together, we’ll delve into the creative process behind the play, as we learn more about the local landscape and community in Westwood.

And if you can’t make it, please join the 40,000 others who have taken a few moments to listen HERE to the radio play — it’s also FREE! Here’s a synopsis: Fresh from participating in her first street protests, 80-year old Eleanor Pender McAdams seems an unlikely subject for an FBI investigation — but who really has the upper hand? This “official file” of recordings and interviews reveals the complexities of standing up for something bigger than yourself in the modern world.
I’m thrilled to have been selected for the Antaeus Zip Code Radio Plays!
The Antaeus Theatre Company in Los Angeles chose six playwrights to create 30-minute radio plays to produce, which will be released November 30, 2020 FREE to the public online and via podcast. Each play takes place in a different zip code in L.A.
My play, “90024 Westwood: ALL INFORMATION HEREIN IS CLASSIFIED” is a collection of digital audio FBI files on Eleanor Pender McPherson, an alleged participant in protests in and around UCLA. The two FBI agents assigned to her surveillance learn never to underestimate an 80 year old woman.
The amazing Carolyn Ratteray will direct and Jeff Gardner is Audio Producer. Casting to be announced soon!
I’ll be posting again when the final product is available for you to listen to via online (or wherever you listen to podcasts.)
So excited to have been invited to join the Antaeus Playwrights Lab! I look forward to working with the amazing talented folks every Tuesday night in developing new plays. Grateful!
