I write musicals from a place of idealism and rage. I believe in a better world, and that we can see it on stage.

IN • EQUITY
A nursing home worker gets entangled with the private equity associate who lays her off, while a rock musician’s rage over his fired friend threatens his relationship with the underground DJ who gives him a release valve.
An experimental rock musical about risk and rage.
CIRCULUS
A sound-driven installation play about time, flow, achieving goals, and agoraphobia.
Written before the COVID-19 pandemic made staying at home a reality for non-agoraphobes, this play follows a protagonist who lives alone, works remotely, and struggles with his existential dread during a tense political moment in history.
The set is one room — four transparent walls — with two foley artists representing every character and sound outside the room.
LOW HUM
A musical with music/lyrics by Marc Jablonski and book by Lauren Waters, about suburban ennui and listening to the body.
We follow two friends in their twenties who are both struggling to save the planet and themselves during a time of global catastrophe.
OPPORTUNITY
A musical that dives into the chaotic world of a Broadway ad agency, taking place in one week where they are pitching for a new musical.
HUNGER
The story of an artist who starved for food, love, and success.
A musical expressionist fantasia set in the trenches of WWI.
DISCOVERY CORPS
A musical allegory for modern day digital manifest destiny, fictionalizing the tech boom of the 2000s against the ghosts of Lewis and Clark.
TRANQUILIZED
A multimedia show that brings to life the history of benzodiazepines and the American experience of anxiety through a series of personal, interconnected stories.
