My Plays
swallow me whole
Mae is attempting to write a book about fat positivity. Her skinny mother comes to visit her apartment moments before the first deadline. Chaos ensues. Oscillating between a choreographed dream world and reality, Swallow Me Whole explores how we learn to love our bodies when we have been taught to hate them.

BODY NEGATIVE
A local weight loss support group gathers every Saturday in the high school gym. But when a visit from corporate and a sentient talking scale throws their routine into disarray, the group finds themselves spiraling into something far more sinister. As weigh-ins become theatrical, infomercials interrupt reality, and a strange new soup begins to change people, Body Negative spirals into a surreal takedown of diet culture.

MELINDA/Melissa/melody
MMM traces three generations of women bound together, and torn apart, by the quiet, inherited violence of addiction. As the family cycles through denial, caretaking, relapse, and recovery, secrets that were once dismissed as “normal” begin to split open. Through dark humor and stark intimacy, the play unpacks how love can both nurture and endanger us when survival becomes generational ritual.
