Mission
My job as a playwright is to entertain, educate and emotionally challenge the audience. Each work is a call to action, whether it be to storm the barricades, seek acceptance, or merely to love.

Set in Buenos Aires in 1920, Bordello is the never-been-told-before story of one brave woman who risks everything to bring a notorious sex-trafficking ring to justice. With a musical palette that includes tango and klezmer, the musical is inspired by historical events surrounding Raquel Liberman, a Polish immigrant who was forced into prostitution and is now considered a folk hero in Argentina.
