You found me.  

In a world where folks say, Oh, I don’t have a website anymore…

I do. I like it.

First, I just wrapped up my year as the 2024 Creative Fellow at the Saugatuck Center for the Arts, where I collaborated with numerous artists of every age, professional and non-professional, all year long. It was the best.

Second, the book I’ve co-written with Arlene Malinowski entitled SOLO: The Everything Guide to Writing, Performing, and Producing Your One-Person Show, is currently with our publisher, Northwestern University Press, and is due out this year.

As a writer, I work with 2nd Story, a collective of story-makers and story-lovers working together to build community through the power of storytelling. I have four original solo shows, Good Enough, The Half Life of Magic and Love Thy Neighbor…till it hurts, and Michiganderish.

What else am I up to? As a teaching artist, I continue to create performance pieces and stories with collaborators ages 5 to 95. I’ve designed programs for children on everything from bullying prevention to etiquette to drama camps. At the Goodman Theatre, I teach storytelling and performance to adults as part of the GeNarrations program, and I'm an adjunct professor at The Theatre School at DePaul University.

I'm also an actor. I've performed on Chicago stages for 30 years, at theaters such as Victory Gardens, Northlight, Chicago Dramatists, Shattered Globe, Drury Lane, and 16th Street Theatre.

And I continue my work with Morten Group, a national consulting firm based in Chicago. I’m honored to be part of their curriculum development and facilitation team, working to build communities that embody racial equity, inclusion, and access.
