Hello, hello!
Wow, every week is such a journey these days...hope all of you are hanging in there!
Continuing to make music and theater during all of this is definitely keeping me sane, and I am so grateful to the other artists I collaborate with for being resilient and creative and INSPIRING ME.
Here are some things I've made (in collaboration with amazing people!) that I want to share...
CREEK AND KILLS has released a new single, "September 15," and all of our music/merch sales on Bandcamp (until we say otherwise) will go to the Center for Reproductive Rights and the National Network of Abortion Funds.
Want to support? Go here: https://creekandkills.bandcamp.com/
And...I have a couple of short plays, ON THE VERGE and LIBERTY ENLIGHTENING THE WORLD, which are going to be presented via live stream as a part of the empowHER Reading Series from Clutch Productions.
ON THE VERGE IS UP FIRST, SATURDAY 10/3 and SUNDAY 10/4

Featured pieces include (and order to be determined):
ON THE VERGE
By Kate Bell
Directed by Raquel Almazan
Matt and Stevie are on tour, sharing their very un-douchey electronica
performance art with America! Nothing can stop them – except for the
snowstorm of the century and a lonely stranger's desperation.
HOLY INAPPROPRIATE
By Allison Fradkin
Directed by Lee Douglass
In the Christian Patriarchy Movement, it is wholly appropriate for girls
to be seen and not heard as they fulfill their life's mission of
submission. But what happens when these docile disciples come to the
revolutionary realization that using their voices and making their own
choices is not akin to the sin of vanity – or insanity?
SOMEONE
By Emma Goldman-Sherman
Directed by Lee Douglass
Have you thanked your mother today? No One does the dishes forever in
this comic look at the never-ending cycle of the domestic labors of
love.
HER PARTY
By Debora Peña
Directed by Aleesha Nash
Marianne has never been more proud of her daughter, Anne, a recently
published academic at the beginning of what will certainly be a highly
successful career. She has given her child everything, living
vicariously through her achievements. When an unexpected guest arrives
at the party, old wounds open and fears of being overshadowed yet again
leave Marianne no choice but to speak her truth.
STEADFAST! Part 1
By Jane Willis
Directed by Vanessa Morosco
Washington is at a boiling point. Protesters have been labeled traitors
by the President, and their lives are in danger. White and Black women
struggle to navigate the deeply embedded racism that divides them from
unity. Welcome to 1917 and the Suffragists’ fight for the Vote!
