(I believe art is not only to entertain, but to open our minds to new ideas and possibilities, to hold a microscope up to things we thought we understood, and to show parts not considered.)

Hall Fellowship, a Dramatist Guild Fellow, and an EST/Sloan Grant Recipient, 2-time Finalist with Nantucket Playwriting Competition, and finalist with Great Plains Writing Competition.
