Selected Works
The Lady's Got Time
Judy and Chris have been friends for years but always wondered if their friendship could be something more. On the day of their first kiss they’re magically transported back in time to the 1940s. And if that wasn’t enough they also run into Judy’s ex, Harry, whom she hasn’t seen in eight years. Chris starts to learn there may be more to Judy’s past than he was originally aware of and hijinks ensue when the pair has to find a way back to the present all the while keeping their past (well, future) hidden from those around them. The Lady’s Got Time is a modern romance in the style of a 1940s screwball comedy that ponders the question “how important is timing when it comes to love?”

Drowned Divas
Does Shakespeare suffocate you like a fish out of water? Do you need glamour more than a Floridian politician needs to get Hooked on Phonics? Hamlet’s Ophelia and Hollywood’s Natalie Wood have news to share from beyond their watery graves. With new love for a dreamy man ~Narcissus~ and a new outlook on (after)life, will these women leave you gagged or just gagging? As the Bible said, pretty hurts…and it hurts so good in this post-mortality drag diptych inspired by countless hours of unbiased, academic research (none of which was done on Wikipedia or X). Drowned Divas puts history to bed and tackles the age-old questions: Was my MFA worth anything? Will I be a star, or will I eat day-old ramen out of a spaghetti-stained plastic Tupperware for dinner...again? And why on earth do men suck harder than the RNC party bottom?

Birds & Bats: The Parody Musical
You know Batman, but do you know his family? Birds and Bats is a new parody musical that follows Bruce Wayne’s (AKA Batman) family and what happens when he suddenly disappears. As the family tries to cope with the sudden disappearance of Bruce, they quickly have to figure out what to do with Bruce’s newly discovered son, Damian Al Ghul. The Robins of the past (Dick Grayson, Jason Todd, and Timothy Drake) train Damian while Batgirl (Barbara Gordon) trains vigilante newcomer, Spoiler (Stephanie Brown). Things go from bad to worse when a new Gotham villain (Reflection) steps onto the scene vowing to kill anyone who has ever escaped death. As the show progresses the question over everyone’s head seems to be, what keeps a found family together when everything seems to be falling apart?
