Yard Dramas

06/01/2026

Every summer starts with a story.

This Wednesday and through to June 24, we’ll gather at Crossroads Farmers Market to sing, move, imagine, and play together with ages 0-5. These early learner sessions are a chance for young children and caregivers to build community, explore stories, and get ready for a summer of creativity.

Then in July through August, our elementary and middle school storytellers will be writing their own books and performing stories inspired by the cultures and communities that make Crossroads such a special place.

We hope you’ll join us. Register using the link in our bio!

📍 Crossroads Farmers Market

⏰ Wednesdays at 10:30 AM.

Before spring slips away… 🌿

I wanted to share a few upcoming projects and community events that are blooming this season through Yard Dramas, libraries, Teaching Artists, and Prince George’s County communities.

✨ A fundraiser for Teaching Artists of the Mid-Atlantic at on MONDAY!
✨ Hyattsville Aging in Place Performance of “IN OUR EYES” at the Prince George’s County Block Party - NEXT Saturday, May 30 at 12:15PM
✨ The Summer Reading Program launched with Prince George's County Memorial Library System - start tracking your hours!
✨ A Maryland Citizens for the Arts (MCA) Maryland Arts Summit breakout session with Lynne Childress, Performer and Teaching Artist, Marcie Wolf-Hubbard, and me - Topic: Fair Pay for Teaching Artists!
✨ Yard Dramas summer collaboration returns with Takoma Park Maryland Library, and Crossroads Farmers Market starts in June! Register today.

What connects all of these experiences for me is a belief that stories matter — in libraries, neighborhoods, classrooms, and public spaces.

Whether through theatre, reading initiatives, or community gatherings, I’m grateful to be part of projects that bring people together through creativity and shared experience.

“Each of us has a story to tell, and we all have a role to play in writing our collective story.”

Spent today in my basement studio, moving through my ideas about a 🐻✨

I'm taking a mixed media class with the fabulous . Today, she had us exploring narrative. It was the perfect space to start visualizing an image from the play I’m developing that follows a bear’s journey from Western Maryland through into Washington, DC.

This piece feels like an early glimpse into that world. Visual art is out of my comfort zone. I'm a theatre artist. But I can start with a narrative.

Grateful to the for a Creativity Grant supporting the planning and development of a new touring production, OSO IS HERE (working title), a performance for all ages exploring belonging, climate change, and our collective responsibility. 🌎

When the wind blows...

Thanks to the Maryland State Arts Council.

I'm ever grateful to the Takoma Park Maryland Library and Crossroads Farmers Market for becoming my little comforting corner of the world.

Much love to my dear friend and colleague for the courageous and joyful programming that was the much-needed spark for the telling of this story, one program year at a time.
