Welcome, so happy you’re here
This is what I know- everyone has a story that will stop your heart. Our stories connect us to who we are, who we were and who we can become. Most importantly our stories connect us to each other. In the sacred spaces of dirty little theaters, school desks, talk over kitchen tables and between the pages of the written word, something magical happens- we find connection. And in that connection, we discover that we all live the same lives in many different ways. Through this work- it’s my hope that we all learn to listen for the story.
Good News!
