Types of Plays:
Loves ambitious plays, plays telling unwieldy stories in formally inventive ways, plays that are asking big questions and grappling with some sort of philosophical or ethical dilemma, plays that have a little magic in them, and plays where time works in unexpected ways. She loves lyrical language juxtaposed with naturalistic dialogue, diving into new worlds or a world that looks familiar but then surprises, plays that demand stylized performance or design, and plays that tell a damn good story.
