Like Flies: A Rage Play
When a mysterious new midwife comes to town, a group of women think she might have solutions for more than just childbirth. She might also have something to solve an epidemic of cruel men. Like Flies is a witchy thriller with movement, sound, murder, secrets, and an ensemble of women claiming the freedom they are due.
Inspired by the true events of the Angel Makers of Nagyrév.
Like Flies had a developmental reading in the Boston University School of Theatre Fall Fringe Festival 2023.

Idawalley
Inspired by the life of female lighthouse keeper Idawalley Lewis of Newport, Rhode Island, this play follows Ida and her family in their life on Lime Rock, maintaining the lighthouse, facing ghosts from their past, and what the changing times mean for their future.
Idawalley had a professional reading in Fresh Ink’s Ink Spot Series in 2018 and a student workshop production at Boston College in January 2023.
IDK [What This Is]
A nightly meeting
a crawl space
a pig with no name
rusty hedge trimmers
and a landline in the kitchen.
Six young people tell the story of their shared experience at a secluded house where they set out on a social experiment. Maybe they’ll make the world a better place. Maybe they’ll find themselves along the way. Maybe if they tell the story right, they won’t have to tell it again.
Written with virtual and socially distant theatre in mind, IDK was produced virtually at Boston College in February 2021.
The Mrs.
The wealthy and mysterious M arrives at her spacious lake house with her young assistant Joseline in tow, and two offstage "watchers" staying in the guest house. Neither knows how long they will be there, and as Joseline vies for answers a power-play unfolds. It becomes less and less clear whether the two women are friends or foes, how, when, or if they will ever leave the house, and who will have the final say.
The Newton Theatre Company produced The Mrs. via Zoom in August 2020.
Cryptic
A Podcast Play
Cryptid (cryp·tid): An animal that has been claimed to exist, but never proven to exist
Riley and Ray’s podcast about cryptids is taking off. But they soon face unexpected consequences to their newfound success when Amy - an avid listener spurred on by their conversations - goes missing on a quest to find Bigfoot in the Pacific Northwest. When Amy’s desperate sister Emma reaches out for help, the podcasters join the search for Amy, trekking through the forest with a team of experienced hikers. And something is almost certainly lurking in the woods.
