A new play about love in a time of climate grief
It’s 2020 in Berkeley, California, and wildfires are raging. As a gay couple prepares to evacuate, they decide what from the 50 years of their relationship to take with them and what to leave behind. Their preparations take them back to the night they met in a queer commune in Berkeley in radical 1970, when other fires raged through the community and they dared to dream of a better future.
With sincerity and hope, this new play looks to queer history as a lens through which to understand our current moment of climate grief. How do we care for each other in times of crisis? In the words of Tennessee Williams: "We live in a perpetually burning building, and what we must save from it, all the time, is love."
Workshop, Cleveland Public Theatre, March 2024

Stonewallin’
A queer-coming-of-age story in the small-town South
"Stonewall Jackson coughs, and out comes glitter." The witches are up to something in small-town Virginia. When Marsha moves from Berkeley to Virginia to reconnect with her family’s roots, she finds a barista with an astrology obsession, a Confederate monument gone missing, and the makings of a bisexual love story — if she wants it.
Written under the mentorship of Broadway playwright Young Jean Lee, this new play explores the families we choose, the families we don’t, and the folks making magic in a changing South.

Can I Hold You?
An aromantic comedy
Alma is an asexual woman looking for love (minus the sex) in the hyper-sexual world of online dating. And it's not coming easy. Should she just pour her love into her asexual roommate Sammie, who wants a deep partnership but could care less for romance? Or should she take a chance on Phoebe, the sexual, saxophone-playing woman of her dreams, even though Phoebe wants sex and she doesn't? When Alma introduces Sammie and Phoebe to each other, all her calculations go haywire in this queer comedy exploring the complexities of intimacy and attraction for folks of all orientations.
"WOW-I was floored after reading just one page of this play. This is the asexual experience. A wonderful play about how there's more than one ways to love, and more than one way to be in a loving relationship.”—Jan Rosenberg, playwright
