November/December 2022 Round-Up: DGF Fellowship and Neukom Award
Thrilled to share two pieces of news that have provided a big jolt of joy and energy in these waning months of 2022:
I was named a 2022-2023 Dramatists Guild Foundation Fellow! So excited to spend a year developing work and learning about the theatre industry with a sensationally talented cohort.
My play SISTERS won the 2022 Neukom Playwriting Prize! Here’s my quote for the press release which sums up my ecstasy : “My work has long been interested in the question of what's innately human in an increasingly technological world, so I'm thrilled and honored to have found collaborators at Neukom and Northern Stage who are driven by the same question. With SISTERS, I wanted to write something that was small, but huge -- intimate, but epic. It's a play about the finiteness of human life when put up against the infinity of the technology that we create and shape. It's an idea that means a lot to me personally, even more so over the past couple years, so to have an opportunity that allows me to develop the play, and to continue figuring out how its idiosyncratic form translates into 3D space, is beyond invaluable. Gratitude doesn't even begin to describe it.”
Next up: a reading of SISTERS on January 13 at Northern Stage in Vermont, directed by Aileen Wen McGroddy.
