I am driven by a lifelong passion for all things creative. To get lost in ink or clay, words or music—this is sacred to me, and I rely on this force in my life.

As a dramatist, I have been creating and performing theater for twenty-five years, appearing with companies such as A Traveling Jewish Theatre and The Marsh in San Francisco. Since 2021, I’ve been touring original solo shows online, reaching audiences around the country. My current offering, Body of Water, is a tale about wrestling with life’s limitations.  

I write the newsletter A Thousand Pieces on Substack and have just released Unbound, a dance film that brings together twenty people living with ME/CFS or Long COVID.

Here are some of the wonderful organizations I’ve partnered with over the years.

My creative work has received funding from Interfaith America, Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, and Alliance for Jewish Theatre. I am a Janavi Held Endowed Poetry & Art Grant recipient.

I have led Taizé candlelight services in churches, taught storytelling workshops at seminaries and hospitals, mentored Jewish teenagers, and for many years was a performing singer-songwriter. I currently facilitate a group for artists living with chronic illness.

I am a graduate of the American Academy of Dramatic Arts, Harvard College, and the Graduate Theological Union.

These days I live on a peaceful hillside in Northern California with my husband and two high-personality cats. I listen for owls and coyotes at night, and I try to stay open.
