all you really need to know is that:
I’m happiest making plays and feeding people. The two are intrinsically linked, if you ask me. I think people should eat in plays and while they make plays. And, if you want to torture a deeper meaning out of this, art feeds us. *rolls eyes at self but also I mean this in a horrifyingly sincere way*
Yes, I bring snacks.
When not making plays, I can be found entertaining an alternate reality in which I have forgone my conscience and am a producer on fill-in-the-blank-dating-reality-tv-show-here.
