Just is a pretty fantastic word for the moment…
Traveling and a virus kept me from sending this note to you but I wanted to share my three acts for April with you because there’s some important work happening at the studio and beyond. I hope your start to Spring has been blooming wonderful! Act One, just Dumb! No time to sugarcoat this one.

Since its inception in 1965 under RSA 19-A, the Council’s mission has been to “promote the...
is it that….?
Okay, I’m a few weeks late with this note, but that’s okay. Flexibility is vital, and grace is imperative. I hope you're able to adapt when needed. These are tricky times. Act One, is it that social? I am immensely grateful to all of you who came to see the readings of Intimate Surveillance at Northern Stage and Dartmouth College last month. Theatre is a conversation—from the moment of inspiration, when a playwright is communicating with only themselves, to the moment strangers chat about a...
A Dance Is Still Made When One Foot Steps In Front Of The Other
Just saying hello with a few thoughts. How are you doing? Act One, Doing The Work Being my own boss, freelancer, or solopreneur (as I was recently called in the Power Forward program with the Center for Women and Enterprise) means no one tells me what to do. No one tells me what values I follow while I facilitate. No one tells me how I can address a group. No one tells me how to identify in person or my email signature. NO ONE. I really mean, NO ONE. I know that isn’t true for everyone out...

Looking To Be A Little More Ambitious In Life?
Howdy! What a wonderful summer of reflection and recovery. I am back on track with a renewed sense of purpose and focus. I’ll send out these Three Acts every six weeks for the foreseeable future.

Working in Shifts!
This is the twelfth letter I’ve sent to you, Reader since October last year, and I want to thank you for engaging with my words. The response has been gratifying. You can check out past letters at this link if you would like to take a trip down memory lane. Act One, in frequency. There’s no easy way to say this, so I’ll be straightforward. I want to speak to you less - in this format, anyway. Writing these letters every three weeks has been an excellent practice of reflection and...
