stories that move                     people together

Stories are the best way I know
 to build meaningful relationships.
   For over 15 years I’ve been telling
 stories that engage audiences as a
 playwright and inspiring newer
storytellers as a teacher.
As a playwright, my work has been
 published and produced across the 
country, and twice been named
 a “Critics Pick” by the New York Times.  
As an instructor I’ve taught classes at 
universities (UCSD, UT Austin, Texas State 
University) and led workshops in both 
theater and business storytelling at theaters 
(Guthrie Theater in Minneapolis,  McCarter Theater 
in Princeton).  In that time I’ve learned what
 makes a good story work and how to build
 empathy with audiences of all kinds.  I've also
 learned that storytelling skills are valuable
 well beyond the walls of the theater which 
is why I currently offer team story training, 
coaching, and video production for businesses
