great news. we’re doing THIS again in LA at the Kirk Douglas Theater, July 30-Aug 28! (click the title for info.) if you’re nearby, please come and enjoy this beautiful play. I can’t wait to live in Melissa’s words again, in the company of Glenn Fitzgerald, Darren Pettie, Gilles Marini, Saffron Burrows, and director Daniel Aukin. and who could forget those songs by Peter Eldridge? simply put: I love singing and playing and being in this show. looking forward to seeing you there.

I wrote it for our medicine show with Third Root and the Foundry–lyrics inspired by a crucial practice and set of wisdoms in Tibetan Buddhism. here’s the first take. enjoy!

named in honor of Ruby Bridges, one of the first African Americans to integrate public schools in New Orleans, the Ruby honors a woman playwright of color with $10,000 and development of a new work through Southern Rep Theatre. this was the first year the prize was given out and yours truly received it, along with finalists Katori Hall, Jocelyn Bioh, Tanya Saracho, and Kimber Lee. the play, RAMP, was commissioned by American Conservatory Theatre in San Francisco, and has been supported by New York Stage and Film, LAByrinth Theater Company, and The Hip Hop Theater Festival. rumor has it we’ll have a workshop in the spring at New Dramatists–and as the play is in its nascent stages, I need it badly. feeling quite grateful for this unexpected distinction.
