Major Productions
Having participated in theatre most of my life, it was only natural that my creative works would move towards that sphere. I started with short plays via Crash Test Drama and eventually wrote and then directed and produced my first full length play - Black Rainbow in 2014. In 2019, Watch Me Dance was created -a play about dancers which I hope to convert to a screenplay.
From there, I've had the privilege of directing of community theatre and musicals!

The story
In the dance world, physical perfection is everything. How you look, how you move, the stories your body tells. So can the disfigured Tianna survive in this world?
Dancing is her life, but no one will hire her looking like she does. Not even with a mask. So she brings together and choreographs a group of other talented dance misfits to compete for the opportunity to tour as a dance company for a year. But each unique dancer has their own insecurities and imperfections and unless they can accept themselves and each other to show the world what they can do, all their dreams will be crushed.
