MFA in Creative Writing Program
I am the author of the full-length dramas Leeboe & Sons and The Boy Millerd (aka Wind In The Field), which was a finalist for the Princess Grace Award and was featured at the Great Plains Theatre Conference where it received a staged reading hosted by Edward Albee. My many short plays include Fall/Out, produced by the Kitchen Theatre; The Heart Of Fear, published in the journal Stone Canoe and nominated for the Pushcart Prize; and Northeast, which appeared in the journal Callaloo. In 2009, Armory Square Playhouse produced Portraits, an evening of monologue plays including Theory Of Night, directed by Playwright’s Horizons founder Robert Moss, Love Is A Blue Velvet Box, and Spoons, which was also produced by Appleseed Productions and will be published in Stone Canoe in 2010. My play Carver at Tuskegee was produced as part of Syracuse Stage’s BackStory! program. As resident dramaturg at Syracuse Stage, I have worked with world-renowned theater artist Ping Chong on the creation of Tales from the Salt City, which had its world premiere at Syracuse Stage in 2008, and with writer Lauren Unbekant on the creation of the one-woman play Woman in a Blue Dress, produced by Syracuse Stage and the Everson Museum of Art in conjunction with the Impressionist exhibit Turner to Cezanne. Among other projects, I am currently adapting to the stage, poet Philip Memmer’s award-winning book Lucifer: A Hagiography.
