COMMISSIONED TO WRITE NEW PLAY

April 2021

New play will address the voluntary intoxication loophole

The wonderful folks at NewYorkRep have commissioned me to write a new play addressing the voluntary intoxication loophole that lets ‘rapists walk free’ in over forty states. This piece is not only a play but a call for change. The goal is to have a development reading of the play in both Los Angeles and New York in April, 2022. As a sexual assault survivor, being commissioned to work on this piece is a great honor and a further step to make actual change.

A big thank you to Gayle Waxenberg and Laurie Bernhard for thinking of me for this project!
