She is an award-winning playwright whose work combines poetry and politics and is concerned with the way stories get told in a culture and with who gets left out of the discussion. Her plays have been produced all over the country, in theatres big and small, including Portland Stage, San Diego Rep, The Women’s Project, (NYC), Cherry Lane (NYC), Jungle Theatre (Minneapolis), Cal Rep, and Playwrights Arena @ LATC. Plays include: Strawberry, Still Life with Parrot & Monkey, January, The Chisera, Candy & Shelley Go to the Desert and Street Stories. She was one of the seven women writers commissioned by Center Theatre Group and Playwrights Arena to write The Hotel Play, a site-specific, immersive theatre piece that marked the 25th anniversary of the Los Angeles uprising in 1992; it was produced in guest rooms and on the grounds of the downtown Radisson Hotel in March to April 2017.
