Playwright, Actor, and Solo Performer

I use my solo performances as a story-telling, journalistic vehicle to engage my audience in order to humanize and raise awareness around the challenges we all face (rich, poor, black, white, etc.), around greed, marginalization, and class, as well as to create deeper empathy with and understanding for the pain and suffering of many members of our society (which can include ourselves) who have slipped and fallen through the cracks and often end up in jail, or various kinds of prisons of our own making.

​

Through deep study, observation, interview, listening, empathy, and transparency, and based on my own life experiences as an immigrant, I seek out relevant situations and stories that are currently impacting us and our society, focusing on inequity, greed, mindless consumerism, poverty, and racism. Writing a solo performance piece usually takes two years to complete, and it is an organic process that cannot be rushed if audience members are to have an authentic and lasting experience that will mobilize them to also be catalysts for change on the planet through their own unique ways, voices, and action.
