💚 THE HEAVENLY JADE PALACE 💚

Oh what a project you are. Eternally grateful to this beautiful team for bringing to life my wacky, Chinese, sexy little strip club in heaven to life. @ every Asian woman everywhere, you belong here, and you get to be sexy whenever you want to.

THE SPECIALIST THANKS to my stage manager, travel partner, best friend, and future podcast duo, @azning271 words cannot hold just how grateful I am that you have been by my side, made me laugh, brought me tea, and always been on top of things so I don’t have to stress. You are the light in every room, the smile across everyone’s face, and the most beautiful person I’ve ever known, through and through.

PHTS Play Festival Week 2: BADASS LATINAS

Hearing from @mariposafluyente asking me if I wanted to be a part of creating this beautiful world was a dream come true for me. Thank you so much for believing in my ability to execute a really ambitious goal of creating my own set piece from scratch! I learned so much, and the sense of artistic freedom you gave me is so appreciated! As always, I'm so in love with your writing and your work - I hope we continue to cross paths in the future, working with this amount of talent pushed me to challenge myself as an artist, and that's really all I can hope for! Overall, A beautiful, personal show I'm so glad I got to have some influence in creating!

PHTS Play Festival Week 1: Aunt Leaf

These posts are a little late, but I’ve been so busy making art that I haven’t found the time to post it until now! Thank you to the amazing @imlizzieleach for reaching out to me so early on and trusting me with designing the lights for your goofy and spooky play! The environment you created for us was playful and safe and full of joy. I cannot wait to work with you again and see what else we can create together.
