Crossing
Stan and Parker meet at work. This year at a National Park in a few miles south of the Canadian border, next year on the train to a ski resort, next year in another ghost town in the middle of nowhere. As seasonal tourism staff, they’re completely isolated from the American queer community. Years pass and they try to figure out how to have community in transient spaces. Crossing is a play about queer friendship and the barriers we create for ourselves when we’re afraid of being understood. Developed for a reading with the support of Pocket Theatre VR.
Transcending
So, what’s the future of gender? I got a handful of queer Chicagoans together to play theater games and figure it out. Transcending is a devised play about labor and love and gender and joy and alien blood babies. We rehearsed in parks and basements and performed in an art gallery. Transcending was supported by a DCASE IAP grant.
Meeting Points
Meeting Points follows the lives of four queer twentysomethings living in Chicago in the near future. It’s about how connecting with others and feeling understood is a survival need. It's also about apocalypses. It's also about hope and love and friendship. For two trans/nonbinary/GNC actors and two cis actors.
Meeting Points was workshopped with the support of DePaul University in 2022. Then, it was workshopped by King’s College London in 2023.
October
October is a ten-minute play about an out transgender man and a closeted cisgender man who fall in love but don’t know how to talk about it. It premiered at Cypress Productions in Lexington, KY in June of 2024 as a part of New Plays Now!
The Psychonauts
Michael and Devin hook up for a 10-day bender aboard a cruise ship. After sobering up and returning to port, they part ways, never to meet again. Or so they think.
The Psychonauts is a funny, candid story about our relationships with substance use, our relationships with ourselves, and our relationships with each other. Developed as a reading for the IT’S ALIVE!! reading series.
In the Valley
"In the Valley" follows the story of Brynjar, a soldier from a puppet cult on a quest to kill witches. When Yan, a witch, saves his life, Brynjar has to reckon with his beliefs and understanding of himself. "In the Valley" is an exciting and experimental new play about the future of queer culture & information after the end of the survivable environment. We developed “In the Valley” as a reading at The Tank and are planning to produce the full puppet show one day soon :)
