Writer – Playwright – Cannot Save You From The Robot Apocalypse

Episode 2 is here! This week Jenna planned and hosted a strange and surprise game that ended up being hilarious! Which twin will win in this Ultimate Quidditch Match? Listen to find out!

As you may remember I was accepted into the HamilTEN Festival earlier this year for the play I wrote, Beep, a short and personal play about my mom’s death and how people who have never dealt with death react around people who have.

Episode 1 is here folks! We wanted to introduce you to us with a fun game of Two Truths and a Lie, who do you think will win?

This past weekend was the seventh annual HamilTEN Festival and I was lucky enough to get in again. I struggled a lot this year about what to write. My play last year wasn’t a comedy per se but it had funny moments and comedies generally do very well in the festival, but I didn’t feel like …
