“Are you making art?”
— Prince (...and Sally Romayne, Liz’s grandmother)
I write essays, screenplays, plays, solo shows and Stand Up sets about my life.
Family dinner table moments?
Coffee shop
encounters?
Cab driver
conversations?
Water cooler exchanges at the office?
It all ends up in my shows (all hail, Better Things).
SCREENS
Scripts, plays, TV and film critiques between colleagues, I’ve been writing stories for screen and stage since I was a kid. Creative concept development, writer’s room strategist, story researcher, summaries for pitches, I write, facilitate and lead brainstorming sessions with directors, writers, clients on most projects. As a creative content producer and director, I help creative teams punch up and edit scripts, build edits in post, brainstorm a logline or new brand.
A voracious film and TV buff, if I’m not outside writing and practicing my solo work or Stand Up sets on a neighborhood walk, you can find me at film festivals or doing deep dives into my favorite comedies featured in my “Things I Love” page…aka women centered comedies!
STAGES
Theater, Solo Performance and Stand Up is where my DNA sparkles. Having grown up in theater, I’ve been producing and performing solo shows and Stand Up sets since 2012, writing comedy sketches and plays since a teenager. When I write for stage, words come to me through characters, movement and voice.
I coach and support brainstorming sessions, speech and script writing for speakers, directors, actors, comedians.
My 2025 vision tour list includes Edinburgh Fringe Fest, Hollywood Fringe, and my short film “The Weekend” on festival tour!
STORIES
I’ve been writing about heartaches and my favorite bands since my first diary with a padlock. Writing helped me process feelings about a budding crush, growing up in a divorced family, or when my home was robbed in 7th grade. I learned early that writing about what you know and sharing it with others has lots of benefits, including being grounded in an emotional truth only you can tell.
I write and make comedy out of hard things. As I continue to perform my shows and write scripts, my life expands, things heal. Sharing stories builds community, supports health, changes legacy.
I write alone and with others. Ideas for comedy sets about besties, Dad’s bird feeder obsessions, my love of lifeguards, can come from a walk with trees or in a chatty water aerobics class.
Currently in progress: a feature screenplay about a cross country family road trip to confront an estranged family member. Casting wish list: Kathryn Hahn, Roberta Colindrez, Lolly Adefope, Paulina Alexis, Michelle Buteau.
