Coming Up Next:
The Blue Dress
Yas, And! Comedy
Dorothy
"
"Blue Dress is a fast-paced queer meta-fantasy that unites Alice from Wonderland and Dorothy from Oz in a shared, unstable world where familiar rules no longer apply. As they search for a way home, the two encounter strange characters, shifting realities, and growing tensions that challenge how they see themselves and each other. What begins as an adventure becomes something deeper as both are forced to question the roles they’ve been assigned and whether they’re willing to break from them. Blending camp, comedy, and emotional honesty, Blue Dress explores identity, friendship, and the courage it takes to define your own story.".
- Yas, And! Comedy
This June I'm thrilled to be developing a new play with Yas, And! Comedy to celebrate pride! Rehearsals are a wonderful collaborative environment. Dorothy and the Wizard of Oz have always held an important nostalgic place in my heart. I'm excited to be working in a queer forward show exploring a new crossover fantasy world! !
