ROUND: A Full-length Play

ROUND is a whimsically complex play following a fat Black woman’s journey through a liminal space where she is forced to confront her doubts, her fears, and herself. Guided by [redacted] — a humorously irreverent stand-in for God-knows-who — this woman is shown how others see her and must decide if what they see is her true reflection.

Untitled “Girls Act Out” Re-write: A Full-length Play

It’s 2009. During an intimate pre-senior year party, Petra, Squish, Claire, Thea, and Alice are forced to discover how they relate to one another as they discuss their dream scenarios for their last year on the Academic Decathlon team. But, after a game of Never Have I Ever, something happens. A light flash. A blackout. A shot too many. Suddenly, they are transported to 2019. They are overcome with all the new knowledge they now have of the time. It’s painful. It changes how they see each other, how they see themselves. Over the course of the night, they settle into their new selves, and their new desires.

Girls Act Out: A Full-length Play

Girls Act Out tells the story of five highly competitive teenage girls on the verge of their senior year. During one comically premeditated drunken night, Petra, Squish, Claire, Thea, and Alice are forced to face their differences, their misaligned passions, and the ways in which they relate (or can’t) to one another. Girls Act Out de- and re-constructs narrative storytelling as a study of the ways girls — consciously or not — perform for each other, confronting questions of race, sexuality, class, relationships and the ever-daunting task of growing up.
