IN THE HOT SEAT premieres at the Fall 2025 Queens Short Play Festival

My new short play, In the Hot Seat, is currently running in Program D of the Fall 2025 Queens Short Play Festival hosted by the Secret Theatre. You can read the full press release on Broadway World here.

This 15-minute comedy is set during a girls' trip to an Arizona spa, where two childhood best friends - cooking influencer Sloane and paralegal Tessa - detox their bodies and their friendship in the sauna. As the temperature rises, the sweat, secrets, and resentments start pouring out, proving that maybe Sartre was right: hell is other people...specifically, your so-called “best friend.”

I have re-teamed with Andrea Romano on this production who is serving as director. Dixie Carroll and Caitlyn Alico Beckwith co-star.

Performance dates are:

• October 16th at 8:30 pm

• October 24th and 29th at 6:00 pm

• November 2nd at 1:00 pm*

*I will be stepping into Dixie Carroll’s role at this performance

SYNOPSIS: The Wayward Women are one of country music's biggest, most popular acts until one fateful night when fiery lead singer Morgan makes a major political statement on behalf of the band - including Callie and Bridget - in front of 20,000 fans. The backlash is swift and merciless, giving the band’s no-nonsense, sexually adventurous manager Kate more heart palpitations than one of her infamous trysts. When an unexpected, powerful visitor (The President) turns up in their dressing room and puts even more pressure on the group (with a little blackmail on the side), this trio will have to decide whether to shut up and sing or keep speaking out. Inspired by the Three Witches from Shakespeare's MACBETH and a certain real life female country trio, this 10-minute play is a comedic look at what happens when women dare to speak truth to power and the fissures it causes among friends and foes.

Now offering script consultation services

With the pandemic continuing to drag on in the U.S., I’ve seen an uptick in people writing new projects as well as requesting feedback as they work to develop those projects in quarantine. I’ve always enjoyed reading other people’s scripts and helping them shape them, and now I’m officially offering my services as a script consultant!

If you have a pilot, play, or screenplay that needs an extra pair of eyes and another brain, I’d be happy to read it and provide feedback (written and via discussion). I know firsthand how beneficial it is to have someone to bounce ideas off of and give some direction when you feel lost in the process, so I work from both a writer AND actor perspective.

I know many artists are being impacted financially by the pandemic, so I am willing to negotiate rates/fees on a sliding scale.

For more info, please visit the Script Consultation page on my website.

Looking forward to working with you!
