CANCELLATION POLICY
If you cancel your registration up to a week before the first session, you’ll receive a full refund. If you cancel one week to 36 hours before our first session, you’ll receive a 50% refund. There are no refunds or partial refunds starting 36 hours prior to class time. These policies are in place because I’m a self-employed, independent artist, not a mega-corporation. Thanks for your understanding.

In the event of under-enrollment, I may decide to cancel the course. In that situation, you would receive a full refund.

ABOUT ME
I’m a working playwright with past productions in NYC, Chicago, San Francisco, Philadelphia, and Germany. The press have called my plays “screamingly funny” (NYTimes), “staggeringly original” (SF Chronicle), “exuberant” (The New Yorker), and “highbrow + brilliant” (NY Magazine).

I studied under Paula Vogel at the Yale School of Drama, where I received my MFA in 2014. Her teaching has informed my own. I’ve taught at MIT, NYU Tisch, Yale, Connecticut College, and Wesleyan, among other places. I consider my teaching, mentoring, and coaching an essential and joyful part of my creative practice.

As a writer, I'm driven by a relentless and rebellious curiosity about what the medium of live theater can do. I write countercultural plays for smart, curious audiences, and trust in the powers of radical truth-telling, community gathering, and collective effervescence to overhaul our most delusional and damaging cultural scripts.
