District Fringe photo dump!

Writing is such a solitary activity. It’s truly wild to witness something that for so long only existed in my head now fully staged and taking on a life of its own! It’s been such an enjoyable and exciting process to witness the first full production of one of my full-length plays, and I’m incredibly grateful to everyone who helped make Tall Tale of a Wolfman possible. From the cast and creative team to the powerhouses at @districtfringe to the many, many folks who stepped in with references, feedback, funds, encouragement, rehearsal spaces, etc, thank you so much. Hopefully you all enjoyed the show. :)

Is there a more me pride aesthetic than posting this before my 1/2 year recap, gossiping with @thatssokeshaun, hugging @aalexis.oliviaa so hard we are falling over, roommate handshake, taking mirror selfies with @leahpacker._ and @hannahdamanka, and getting an ab workout for the right camera angle? I think not! So very happy to have spent pride with such wonderful friends. ❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙💜
