Wren out my office window. This wren is ON IT.
Because I am the world’s slowest writer, a lot of my news these days is theater related. Like: I’m in a play in Austin called Witch, by Jen Silverman. It is very, very funny and also sort of sad, and I am playing with some amazing actors. Runs February 21 - March 21, 2026 at Hyde Park Theatre — check it out! (Yes you can afford it! Every Thursday show is true Pay What You Can, you choose the price, whatever that is.)
In 2025 I got to perform in the extraordinary one-woman play Feast, by Megan Gogerty, produced by Shrewd Productions. Playing Grendel’s furious mother giving a furious dinner party rocked my world and later in the year blessed me with awards for Outstanding Lead Actress (Austin Theatre Critics Awards) and Outstanding Solo Performance (B. Iden Payne Awards).
The Cabinet of Curiosities website is experiencing some sort of horrific undead half-life--another way of saying we're posting stories there only sporadically right now. My latest one (it was a while ago) is about a ghost fox. Watch out for ghost foxes, man.
Psyched to learn that Colby Minifie, the young actress who reads the audio version of The Radiant Road, and who had a regular role on the amazing Marvel's Jessica Jones, is now a regular on The Boys.
The Austin Chronicle did a really lovely interview with me. All about fairy-making and Burning Man and learning lines and why you should make art. YES YOU.
My ten-minute play "Right into the Night Sky" was nominated as Outstanding Original Script at the 2016 local B. Iden Payne theater awards, up against four, you know, actual, full-length plays. A canary flying (briefly) with the eagles!
