Thursday Throwback: Back in Fall 2019, while I was in grad school at UNCG studying puppetry, I created a puppet slam based on one of my favorite children's books, "A Day In the Life of Marlon Bundo" by John Oliver. Right before the pandemic hit, I was in the midst of rehearsals with five actors and the puppets preparing to bring this story to life as a touring show. Unfortunately, those plans were put on hold. Fast forward to March 2024, I applied to have this show performed at the Bucks/Mont Pride Festival in June under a new title, "Some Bunny to Love," featuring three actors and eight puppets.

Today this story about the celebration of love and the power of voting seems more relevant than ever and I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunity to receive feedback on this project from "State of Play," a group dedicated to developing new work.

Tomorrow (Friday) August 30th at 7:00pm my script will be 1 of 3 being read, and I’d love to invite you to join us in the fun! For ZOOM info and link please message me. I’m excited to see this story continue to evolve.

With a LIVE voting moment that could change the entire course of the story, what will you choose? Will love prevail? Or will fear strike and rule us all?

It's been a while since my last post, but that doesn’t mean I’ve stopped. On a personal note, I have been navigating a difficult time, grieving the loss of my mother. This journey has been challenging in so many ways, but creativity is a gift, a gift my mother nourished with love and support, so in her honor, I have continued to create while navigating her absence. I am excited to announce some new projects and opportunities ahead...Stay tuned!
