come with me for a day in my life says the youtube star is an exploration into the rituals that make disabled life bearable. In order to participate in the able-bodied world, much of dealing with chronic pain and a failing body is to establish routines. These routines become mechanical, rigid, and necessary to your own survival. They in turn, make you robotic in nature. They make you afraid of spontaneity and newness. 

They make you machine. 

Using ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) and other binary coding systems, "come with me for a day in my life says the youtube star" mechanizes the repetition of day to day sick life. 

Eat Lolo Eat searches for the boundaries of rage and vengeance.

Lolo, a young, fat, Black woman, has been good all her life. She speaks when spoken to and smiles when smiled at. Speaking up for herself isn’t something she knows. Not about her best friend’s death, not pressures from her mother, and not the demonic entity that has claimed Lolo and is pushing her to satisfy more and more disturbing cravings.

This staged reading was the culmination of a year-long workshop writing process with Horticulture Playwrights Workshop.
