Miss Pretty is a musical currently being developed with collaborator Matthew Nassida. It started as a stand-alone song written in a class at the Graduate Musical Theatre Writing Program at NYU Tisch and is now blossoming into a full-length work about body image, the pageant industry, and what it means to be beautiful.

FREELY GIVEN
Freely Given is a one-act play centering the protagonist Riley, a sixteen year-old girl in a “devout” Christian household. After meeting and falling for her classmate, Jeremy, she finds herself having desires she’s been taught are sinful and begins questioning her faith and sense of morality. This play takes a close lens on purity culture, its effects on young women, and the infamous “talk” parents have - and often get wrong - with their children.
