Lilly, a young college student, returns to the only home she has ever known, an impoverished western Massachusetts town. Where We’re Born is a tragedy in its original sense: characters are doomed to live out their fate. The play’s final moments are as powerful and moving as any play we will ever produce.

She is also the author of Ashville, Innocence is a Sin, The Kool Aid Smile, Stay and Wendy and Laura. Her ten-minute play, Dinner, is published in a collection called, Not So Sweet, 16 plays from SOHO Rep’s 10-minute play festival. She is a member of The MCC Playwrights’ Coalition.
Most recently, Will Frears directed the Off-Broadway premiere of Omnium Gatherum at the Variety Arts Theatre, where it garnered rave reviews.
