Joyridin'

Co-wrote, co-produce local play

Diamond, a troubled teenager struggling since her parents’ divorce, faces suspension after misbehaving in school. Given a choice between spending the weekend with her strict military mother and her mother’s new boyfriend or joining her eccentric grandmother Ruby on a road trip to a church revival, she reluctantly chooses the latter.

What begins as an unwanted journey becomes a transformative adventure. Through comedic mishaps and heartfelt moments, Diamond and Ruby bond, confronting past wounds and uncovering life lessons. When Diamond recklessly takes her grandmother's car to meet an older boyfriend, Ruby intervenes with a powerful lesson on respect, choices, and self-worth.

By the end of their journey, Diamond learns the true meaning behind her name and discovers the resilient, extraordinary woman her grandmother truly is.
