Month: January 2026

In 2024, I was honored to receive a 2-week developmental process at Carnegie Mellon University for my full-length play, Plastic Nest, which I wrote at CMU as a Dramatic Writing MFA student. It was a privilege to play with design questions with my team:

Playwright: Tracy Held
Director: Lane Michael Stanley
Co-Director & Movement Director: Sarah Jack
Scenic Design: Dahlia Al-Habieli
Costume Design: Sophie Schneider
Puppetry Consultant: Jamie Agnello
Performers: Trey Caperton, Lilac Emery-Haynes, Marco Porras, Aidan Winn

For five weeks, I will be training with comedian/performer/food bank influencer Kristina Wong to discuss food insecurity and produce a (very) short performance piece at World Harvest Food Bank in Los Angeles on Tuesday, February 17th at 11am. If you’re interested in participating, you can still take the workshops. Every second class earns a free grocery cart full of fresh foods redirected from the waste stream–products that were overstocks, too close to the expiration date, or items that were slightly underweight for the packaging.

We launched a new vertical shorts comedy web series through Erosion on YouTube called Climate Thoughts. We post a new episode every Tuesday to share our wry thoughts on climate facts. Please follow our channel to subscribe.
