Writing, directing and producing plays has always been my passion. I have always had a very vivid imagination. As a child, I would play with make-believe friends for hours on end! I later discovered that these ‘pretend sessions’ were really my gifts being developed. Before I started writing, I acted. I acted in school, church, community and mostly at home. I would entertain my family and friends all the time. I played so many roles in school plays. But, it was church plays that I really loved. Playing biblical and historical characters was so much fun! It never took me long to develop a character. It was my gift at work! I actually won several 1st Place awards in church and community talent shows. My first award came from playing a screaming mother in a Christmas play. That was a very dramatic role. The audience was left in tears! I was soon made the President of our Thactrical Ministry. That’s when the writing took flight! I began to write skits, monologues and plays. “A Day of Thanksgiving”, “Good Times”, “The Battle Within”, “Face to Face”, “Where Is The Love”, “The Girl In The Flowered Dress”, and most recently, “Secrets”. I have directed versions of “Godspell”, “Bethlehem’s Big Night”, and “Bow The Knee”. My purpose is to create contemporary, inspirational live stage productions that cause the audience to think, feel, laugh and cry. These works leave the audience with an experience that awakens them. When the actors portray these characters the audience sees a bit of themselves and is intrigued to know more. These characters unlock the doors of the heart, soul and mind; doors that could lead you anywhere!Specialties: -Playwright-Actress-Film Director-Community Theatre
