My Work.
My storytelling is inspired by the chaos of growing up in my family’s Italian restaurant in Jersey, my love of myths, mysteries and magical realism, my background in education (from substitute teacher to adjunct professor) and my desire to bring to light the lives of extraordinary women who you most likely never heard of. My play, The Magician’s Sister, explores the lives of female magicians of the 20th century—many of whom were known as “hand-cuff queens”—and it recently won the 2023 Jane Chambers Award and the 2023 Stanley Drama Award.
