After recovering from graduate school, I got back to writing, and found short plays and monologues were a perfect fit. I like to see how the similarities between the non-able and able worlds are stronger than the differences. In "The March", I explored the social activism of pub crawls in wheelchairs on Rush Street. My monologue Harley Story relates how the fantasy of the open road contrasted sharply with getting my driver’s license. In "Spy Story", I answered the much-asked “What happened to you?” with a noir saga of international espionage. I try to show “there’s more than meets the eye to living with a disability.”
The Life You Get
If you're not careful, if you make easy choices, you could wake up one day and wonder what the hell happened. From Filet of Solo, January 2024.
