DOVECOTE
A love letter to grandparents, South Florida wildlife, and sibling-hood in a digital age, Dovecote is a 90-minute hurricane play set in the near future Florida Keys. With a backdrop of ecological and technological crisis, Dovecote explores the fragility (or fortitude) of shared-history, grief, and neglected ecosystems.

It Smells Like Rain Today...
A woman, alone on her porch, chases the memory of a lost love through the fog of radio static. With every station, a new connection is made with the ghosts that haunt the music. (~13 minute piece).

I HEAR YOU
Oh, to come of age in a black box. Seven students grasp feverishly at their sense of self through performance art, oppressive metaphor, and antagonism of authority.
