Kimberley's profile
My primary noun is writer, and I’ve been weaving stories for as long as I can remember. I tell a span of narrative from historical fiction to local Baltimore and Maryland folklore.
Writing is a mysterious adventure and a tool with which to process this crazy reality, and I began journaling at nine in order to parse out the baffling world. One ancient text equates word to deity; that makes us writers acolytes with a responsibility to serve.
I teach and that experience of teaching writing expands my understanding of the craft and impacts my own voice. Art informs itself; producing, directing, acting all re-shape my voice's song.
Theatre is an multi-disciplinary group endeavor, and I’d like to thank everyone with whom I’ve created theatre, because, as I tell my students, all aspects of the form inform me as a playwright.
I also want to thank the granting institutions.; this portfolio process has helped me collect and consider my oeuvre.

My published work: a ghost folklore novel, Dredging the Choptank; a collection of Hamilton short stories, Something with a Crust; and a play, A Dickens of a Carol, are available online. Over forty of my plays have been produced in Baltimore, New York, Washington D.C., Minneapolis and Armagh, Northern Ireland. I hold an M.F.A. in Creative Writing and Publishing Design from the University of Baltimore. I'm a member of The Dramatist Guild and Actors Equity of Association.
I teach playwriting, screenwriting, performance monologue, acting, composition, and Irish Culture.
