Biography

I'm retired now, and finding my voice. For some, music or painting becomes their creative outlet; for me, it's writing. While I enjoy working in all literary forms, for whatever reason the idea of using theatre as a means of satirizing Donald Trump was most appealing. When I've read portions of my play aloud, the audience laughed at the 'right' segments, and readily assented to its moments of absurdity. I wanted to highlight how dangerous Trump and his minions are, while providing relief through humour.
