Honored that my play FOOT WEARS HOUSE will be part of Working Theater's Stage Left festival this spring! Excited to be in such amazing company.

This (fictional) play is inspired by my union siblings at REI Soho & their fight for a retail-labor contract. Let's let 'em know #unionbustingisdisgusting💪

Please VOTE NO TODAY! REI is currently a union-busting, green-washing corporation that celebrated Trump's win so he'd gut worker protections. Get that board out. www.ourrei.com/2025-rei-boa... Sincerely, a former REI worker & union sibling

Excited to share that my play The Doctor Will See You Shortly is now published with Concord Theatricals!

I pulled no punches with this one. Teens in a gynecologist's office band together to demand better healthcare for uterine & pelvic pain.

"Although Justice Department lawyers acknowledge the mistake in Abrego Garcia's case, they say there is nothing federal officials can do because he is now in custody of another country."

Terrifying and unconscionable.

Netanyahu has not allowed any food, water, or fuel into Gaza in two weeks.

Now he has resumed bombing, killing hundreds of people and breaking the ceasefire that had given Gaza a chance to live again.

NO MORE MILITARY AID TO ISRAEL.

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too.

EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them.
