Linked is a video of the group of plays into which mine was sorted. All were ably directed by Anna Trachtman, who also took the video. My one-minute play, "Have Your Share," is the first to be performed. It involves an Oreo-eating contest, and thoughts about how we are all stronger together. I found the evening therapeutic. Hope you enjoy!
Last week, I was lucky enough to experience the Chicago One-Minute Play Festival once again, both as an audience member and a participating playwright. This year, our theme was "Nevertheless, We Persisted," and that message generated a lot of lovely material from playwrights all over Chicago. Once again, this festival was dedicated to producing the work of female-identifying playwrights and directors, and the evening I attended felt electric with recognition and calls to action.

The Sixth Annual Chicago One-Minute Play Festival was quite the experience. The audience brought a great energy to both performances, and it was fascinating to see what all the writers, directors, and actors made out of a minute's worth of material. Below are some photos from my piece, "Significant Side Effects." My play involved a mother being pushed by a doctor to prescribe Adderall to her son, when he probably doesn't medically need it. Anna Trachtman served as a crackerjack director for the short, and she helped me both cut and shape the piece throughout our quick rehearsal process. Major kudos to actors Alex Moorman and Elizabeth Dowling for their dedicated, lived-in performances, as well!
