HELLO!
I’m a playwright, composer, lyricist, and researcher based in Milwaukee, WI. My work most often deals with Asian-Americans grappling with the messiness of their identities. I’m also a technologist and am interested in building new theater experiences that mesh with technology. My work has been developed and produced with Underscore Theatre Company, the National Asian American Theatre Company (NAATCO), Musical Theatre Factory, PACE University, the O’Neill Theatre Center (NPC ‘22), the National Alliance for Musical Theatre (NAMT ‘22) Faultline Theatre in San Francisco, and Shotgun Players.
I’m currently on commision by Audible Theatre and Arena Stage.
