Here's a Mother's Day monologue I wrote called "Dark Side of the Moon," performed at the Ruskin Theatre in Santa Monica on May 12, 2024. It starts out about my mom, then gets into some other stuff.

Fine essay about RENTAL FAMILY, one of my favorite (and one of the most woefully underseen) films of the year.
My latest for the inimitable @brightwalldarkroom.com!! Rental Family gave me a lot to think about & I enjoyed writing about the emotional + relational labor found in it. Also still excited about the Brenaissance 🤠
New today on the site!
