Indian Princesses
Based on a real-life Native American-themed father-daughter bonding program I participated in as a child, Indian Princesses centers 5 young girls of color and their white fathers as they go through a series of exercises and excursions meant to strengthen their father-daughter bonds––but how can these men be protectors and guides when they're incapable of discussing gender and race? The play explores cultural appropriation, "race-blind" spaces, loneliness, identity crises, internalized racism, financial anxiety, parenthood, and more, but at heart it's a joyful and comedic celebration of complicated identities, tricky conversations, and confusing expressions of love.

Marble Rooftop
Seven high school girls convene for their annual dance team bonding sleepover. Throughout the night, the girls navigate the power imbalances between them, tell stories from their lives, and compete to be the most “experienced” in the room. But what happens when one girl goes too far to prove herself to the rest? Traversing the lines between consent, agency, peer pressure and systemic pressure, Marble Rooftop explores the implicit conditions of femininity as we know it.

Poor Queenie
After the death of her wealthy, far-older husband, a young mother finds herself alone with her teenage daughter for the first time. With a lavish house to themselves and no one to answer to, their newfound freedom creates a world of never-ending fun, where responsibility is out the window and the daughter learns to see things through her mother’s eyes. But as the outside world creeps into their makeshift safe haven, the daughter begins to realize that not everything is as her mother makes it seem.
