Description: In a series of stylized, highly visual vignettes employing puppetry, poetry, and surrealism, the weïrd sisters from Macbeth explore the stories of women who disappear, whether by choice or force.

She wrote Witches Vanish as resident playwright at Stage Left Theatre in Chicago, where it was included in LeapFest 9, and further drafted the script at the MultiStages New Works Finalist Festival (New York), the Great Plains Theatre Conference (Omaha), the Women’s Work Festival (St. John’s, Newfoundland), and the Kennedy Center Page-to-Stage Festival (Washington, DC). She teaches playwriting at Middle Tennessee State University and is the author of I Love You Terribly: Six Plays (2012) and No. 731 Degraw-street, Brooklyn, or Emily Dickinson’s Sister (forthcoming, fall 2015), both from Carnegie Mellon University Press.
