My Plays
The Pink House

Synopsis: The Pink House drops us in the village of Cene, Italy post-covid lockdown. Spring 2021. The play follows adult children as they learn to live in the world without their parents for the first time and navigate how to live with eachother in new ways. What does it mean to walk through a changed landscape? How do both absence and presence coexist when you return to your childhood home after your parents are gone and the house is now yours?

Performed at The Tank Theater in NYC in April 2026. Directed by Hamilton Clancy.

Maia e fa Sito

I wrote Maia e fa Sito inspired by stories from the small Italian town where my family is from.

Synopsis: It’s dinner time in a small Northern Italian mountainous town. A traditional-minded family. A fraught mother-daughter relationship boils to explosion: temperatures are at an extreme high at the dinner table. When a buon apettito is followed by a magna e fa sito which translates to eat and shut up in the Italian dialect Bergamasco. Insanity is on the menu. The hope is that this short play will wet your appetite for a taste of the absurd.

Produced: (Self with my Director Alexander Peña at) Vassar College. July 2024.

Clay: An Actors Confessional

A lot goes down during the “thank you 10” or the “thank you 5.” Break room is where actors can release, reflect, and debrief. What is happening underneath; the process of the actor is what I’m interested in. Clay: An Actors Confessional follows three actors studying at a drama conservatory trying to understand how to be in this world as an actor: how to thrive from it; survive from it.

Note: The hope is that the play will explore both the moments of intellectual examination of the craft and the building moments of true joy and struggle as a rising theater artist. ​

Produced: Powerhouse Theater 2024 New Works Festival. July 2024.

The Two Olives

Present day. A college campus. It’s dusk, the fireflies are out and so are the mosquitos. It’s itchy. It’s hot. It’s humid and stuffy. The eve of graduation. A mad scientist has created two paths post-grad for the same girl Olive/Olivia.
They are half real, and half created. The girls meet these two versions of themselves for the first time. A regimented reality. ​

Produced: Powerhouse Theater 2024 Site Specific Play Festival. June 2024.
