2017 has been frenetic so far, with exciting projects on all fronts: music, teaching, activism, and theater. I'm very grateful to Sanguine Theater Company for selecting my play,
Blacked Out, as one of four finalists in their Project Playwright competition.

I got to work with the amazing TJ Walker on staging a reading of an excerpt from the play (part of the Blackout77 outage-act); it was performed at Soho Playhouse on January 16th (MLK Day!).
