Theatre writer and producer, working in both adult and children's genres (TYA). My life has been endlessly tangled up with theatre, straight and gay (um, I mean musicals). I’ve acted, worked tech, directed, served on committees and a board of directors. And I’ve been an insatiable audience member—a lifelong supporter of this ridiculously divine art form. Then there’s the writing…not something I set out to do, but like so many writers I just seem to do it. Made a career out of it—from spinning advertising copy to crafting messaging for an oil company to trotting the globe as an award-winning travel journalist. But no matter all that; it’s just fodder for the plays. Toss in inspiration from my lifetime of impossibly impossible scenarios—shall we start with my childhood as a gay Mormon potato farmer and puppeteer? Not all at once. Bit by bit, as it’s said. After 25 years as a travel writer, media personality, and copywriter, editor, and creative director, and then nearly five years as an innkeeper, I’m delighted to finally be focused on a lifelong dream: writing for the stage.
