Join me this Thursday, Sept 10th 2026, at 4:30pm for a Performance of My Dead: An Immigrant’s Story at Ashton Gardens as part of the 2026 Timpanogos Storytelling Festival!
As a creative, I research, write, and produce theatrical work linking the past to the present. The first such work, My Dead: An Immigrant’s Story, utilizes journal entries, autobiographies, and letters to ask the question “Do you know your dead?” My Dead: An Immigrant’s Story is available for performance bookings.
Other work in development includes: All We Like Sheep – a radical adaptation of Lope de Vega’s Fuente Ovejuna exploring a 2024 French court case and the capability of a single woman to change society, and Old Friends – a two-hander rom-com where the past has the unexpected possibility of creating a beautiful future.
