OUR FILM JACOB THE BAKER IS NOW AVAILABLE ON PRIME VIDEO!
Welcome to my work…
I write and produce in various media with a sense of humor, heart, heartbreak, and hope. I write about the present and the past, sometimes weaving them and sometimes weaving comedy and drama. I identify as a cisgender woman (she/her/hers), and as a political progressive (we/us/ours). I don’t preach or profess to have answers. I ask questions. I’m Jewish. It’s genetic. And I protest. Personally and professionally, I fight and write for social, economic, inclusive and global justice for all. In 2023, I co-founded Arts For Change with the indomitable Genie Benson. This division of the non-profit Keshet Chaim Dancers, is dedicated to creating, developing, producing and supporting plays, films, dance, music and literature to inspire positive change in the world.
