I am a playwright, director, Yiddish translator, actor, scenic artist, fiction writer, puppet parade organizer and storyteller based in Northampton MA. I co-organize biannual community puppet parades based around Jewish spring and fall holidays which facilitate youth leadership, cultural literacy and community bonding. I co-founded Theater Between Addresses, an all-queer theater collective which produces new work and has frequent workshops supporting new play development. My short stories and translations have been published in Paper Brigade, Metamorphoses Journal, Pakn Treger, In geveb, and others. I also work as a stagehand, set carpenter, and theater electrician.
Rooting in Yiddish folklore and grounding in community, my work explores archetypal myths, various roadmaps to resistance, and experiments in queer joy.
I am committed to working with the public by using folk-theater forms, puppets, and spectacle to bring people of all ages and experiences into creative process together.
