I’m very excited to be a part of Magnet Theatre’s “One Word” series, where three writers each write an essay off of a word-prompt, and then perform them. This Thursday, Rachel Hamilton, Melanie Hoopes and I will each perform an essay we’ve written off of the word-prompt “RESIST.” None of us know what the other has written and won’t until we hear it performed, which will be a lot of fun. Honored to share the stage with these talented women. If you’re New York based and around, come on out.

For those of not in New York, any chance we could one day read your essay?
Helena – It was a shortened and loosened-up version of this story:

I re-wrote it for monologue purposes.
It went great!
Oh yes, I’ve read that one. A great choice. Glad to hear it was a success.
Lucky audience members to have a chance to experience it as a performance.
