Playwriting

Cats (not the musical) (2025)

Independently Produced @ Key & Cleaver

Key & Cleaver loved hosting San Diego, I Love You: City Heights so much they asked me to produce another show there. In this play a lonely human seeks companionship from the stray cats in her neighborhood but allergies, medical debt, and inter-cat drama get in the way. This hilarious comedy critiques our human systems and entertains us while raising important questions about what really matters in life.

San Diego, I Love You: City Heights (2025)

Circle Circle dot dot

We got CCdd back together for this reunion show to bring attention to City Heights' local small businesses in the wake of damaging road closures from a delayed construction project. This walking, site-specific adventure play invited audiences out of the theatre and into the community while an intimate love story unfolded in real life locations. Attendees were encouraged to purchase libations at the two main locations, Key & Cleaver and The Tower Bar.

Joy the Blue Caterpillar (2025)

Morgan’s Wonderland

I was commissioned to write this play giving a backstory to the star costume character at Morgan’s Wonderland which is a theme park in San Antonio for people of all abilities. In the play, Joy the blue caterpillar searches for belonging and in the end finds a home at Morgan’s Wonderland and becomes Joy the blue butterfly! They loved the play so much they commissioned me a second time to write a play for Halloween which is currently in rehearsals.

VAPA Summer Camp (2023, 2024, 2025)

The Old Globe @ Wilson Middle School

Since 2023 The Old Globe had commissioned me to write 30 minute plays for students at Wilson Middle School to perform in their annual VAPA summer camp. Each play is based on a particular work of Shakespeare.

2023- Shipwreck on Garbage Island (The Tempest)
2024- Bethany Mac (McBeth)
2025- P&T (Pyramus and Thisbe in Midsummer)

Max Boppins 2.0 (2022)

University of San Diego

In May 2022 I performed my character Max Boppins for Professor Evelyn Diaz Cruz’s Theatre & Community class. Max is like a mix of Mary Poppins and Jason Mraz. I invented Max to help educate people about non-binary gendered folx like myself. Max has two songs right now but I would like to write more. The first song is called “I Love That I’m Non-Binary” and the second song is called “Singular They is Fun to Say.”

Covid Lockdowns (2020-2021)

Old Globe Arts Engagement and University of San Diego

During the Covid lockdowns I wrote and produced several comedic short videos for The Old Globe and the University of San Diego.

Truth Tellers (2020)

Veronica Burgess Presents @ The Merrow

I teamed up with Veronica Burgess and Andrew Steele to create the Truth Tellers! Telling real stories about real struggles in America today. A theatrical musical story-telling adventure with three teachers from Normal Town Junior High School. This terrific talented trio will dazzle and delight you with their musical musings and hilarious hi-jinks. Join Miss Simmons, Ms. Hobbs, and Mr. Fleming as they entertain and teach you about important social service organizations in San Diego.

San Diego, I Love You #SwipeRight (2018)

Circle Circle dot dot in North Park

The script for this site-specific play was based on interviews with people who identify as bisexual and have extensive experience with online dating. Audiences could watch the story unfold through the perspective of a male version and/or a female version of the main character (Taylor). Boy Taylor and girl Taylor go on the same dates and yet their experiences differ due to their gender. The play unfolded in five local small businesses on the corner of Thorn and 32nd street in North Park.

San Diego I Love You (the musical) (2017)

Music by Soroya Rowley and Andrew Steele

A collection of short plays based on true stories about music, love, and life. Performed in various site-specific locations around Liberty Station.

LGBTQ+ On-Campus (2015)

Circle Circle dot dot @ SDSU

LGBTQ+ On-Campus was a 2-hour rotating installation project on the SDSU campus inspired by true stories of real current LGBTQ+ students living and working with SDSU. CCdd’s goal with the piece was to invite on and off campus audiences to experience short/true ‘slice of life’ scenes taking place in the environment where these stories actually occurred in order to share perspective of the modern LGBTQ+ experience on a college campus. I wrote and directed two of the short pieces and performed in another.

Naughty or Nice (2014)

Circle Circle dot dot @ Tenth Avenue Theatre

"Naughty or Nice" consisted of two very different collections of original premiere short plays from 9 local playwrights (I was one) inspired by contemporary stories of Christmas revelry. "Nice" was a family friendly show for the child in everyone, while "Naughty" peeped into the darker sexier side.

No Place Like Home (June 2014)

Circle Circle dot dot @ OB Playhouse

Music by Soroya Rowley and Andrew Steele

Based on true stories of residents of PATH (People Assisting The Homeless) in San Diego, "No Place Like Home" was an acoustic musical production about Daisy, a young, disabled woman who unexpectedly finds herself in exactly that hardship, and must do whatever it takes to survive.

No Place Like Home (June 2014)

Circle Circle dot dot in Hillcrest

Co-written by Katherine Harroff and Soroya Rowley

For "San Diego, I Love you", Circle Circle dot dot took audiences on a hilarious romantic traveling journey through the streets of the vibrant Hillcrest community in order for a modern-day comedy/romance site-specific performance piece based on the true tales of several local residents who have been lucky (or almost lucky) with love in our gorgeous city. This show was nominated for a San Diego Critic Circle Award for "Outstanding Special Event".
