One-Person Plays and Performance Pieces

To date, I’ve created seven full-length one-person shows as well as many shorter performance pieces. My pieces have been performed Off-Broadway, internationally, and all over the U.S.

COLLATERALLY DAMAGED

In this autobiographical play, Laura travels to Eastern Europe, tracing her mother’s real-life journey during the Holocaust. Her aim is to write a play that will end genocide, war, and even random acts of rudeness. It’s a comedy. Sort of.
