Collaboration with Playwright
Director Tim Errickson, playwright Ming Peiffer, and actor Emily Gardner Hall
Ming Peiffer wrote an incredible monologue for me as part of Red Caravan/Caps Lock Theatre's 4th annual Pussyfest, in which 21 playwrights are paired with 21 female-identifying actors and write a custom-made monologue about the body for that performer.

The RED CARAVAN Reads series promotes and advocates for a worthy non-profit organization that is thematically linked to our current production. By curating readings and events in various stages of development, we are giving space, promotion, and support to established and emerging artists that inspire us from NYC’s theatrical community in order to raise both funds and awareness for the real issues of the community at large.
Our inaugural series will benefit New Alternatives, a center for LGBT homeless youth in NYC. An almost entirely volunteer-based grassroots non-profit, this organization works to increase the self-sufficiency of LGBT homeless youth by providing case management, education services, life-skills training, community-building activities, and a meal every Sunday. We are hoping to raise resources and awareness for this organization, particularly as they are in danger of losing the space in which they run their center this June.
