Each day, Monday thru Saturday, I work on Today's facts … the rest of the day I work to move my award-winning dark comedy play forward. Our goal is to stage The Woman in the Mirror at the 2026 Edinburgh Festival Fringe to get in front of streaming, film, and theatre investors/producers.
I'm not ready to give up yet - on democracy or the play! You can help:

“A lovely, polished gem in the high desert. I recently had the opportunity to see an incredible, professional production that was as solid as anything I've seen Off Broadway and better than half of what I've seen on Broadway recently. Well done ladies and tech team!” - Google Review
