Gaslight Theatre Company: PlayRoom
|
Over the course of eight years I was commissioned to write eight unique short plays for Gaslight Theatre Company's PlayRoom Series. Conceived by Matthew S. Hinton in 2012, PlayRoom takes one ordinary room of a house and stages multiple stories by several playwrights. All of my short plays for PlayRoom can be read on New Play Exchange.
