VOICES

A full-length play currently in development about the increasingly fraught relationship between a hearing interpreter and his deaf best friend. Who needs whom the most?

QUID PRO QUO

This senior project of mine in college - my first foray into writing about my own identity - was an entrant in the American College Theatre Festival where it ended up winning national playwriting awards and was chosen out of thousands nationwide to play the Kennedy Center in Washington DC. It is written to be performed entirely in American Sign Language.

JOURNEYS OF IDENTITY

A historical dramatization of the founding of the first school for the deaf in America, commissioned through a collaboration between the Old State House of Hartford, Connecticut and the National Theatre of the Deaf, workshopped at the Eugene O'Neill playwriting center. This production relied heavily on intricately choreographed shadow interpretation, which was integrated into the blocking of the actors, to make it accessible for all audiences.

JUDGMENT DAY

After premiering in Australia, this comedy about two rogue angels doing more harm than good to the man they were assigned to save has been my most enduring play, which I later turned into a musical. My friends from the cast of Deaf West's Broadway tour of BIG RIVER did a successful reading of it.

Amios/Shotz

You've heard of the 24-hour play. Well, these are one-month plays: two weeks in the writing and two weeks of rehearsal, performed in one night. I've been fortunate enough to have written several of them for this talented gang.
