Max Boppins (May 2022)
University of San Diego
In May 2022 I performed my character Max Boppins for Professor Evelyn Diaz Cruz’s Theatre & Community class. Max is like a mix of Mary Poppins and Jason Mraz. I invented Max to help educate people about non-binary gendered folx like myself. Max has two songs right now but I would like to write more. The first song is called “I Love That I’m Non-Binary” and the second song is called “Singular They is Fun to Say.”

Truth Tellers (Feb-March 2020)

Join Miss Simmons, Ms. Hobbs, and Mr. Fleming as they entertain and teach you about important social service organizations in San Diego.

Workshop Actor (2012-Present)
Old Globe Arts Engagement
Since 2012, I have regularly worked as an actor for the Old Globe Community Voices and CoLAB workshops bringing to life new characters in original short plays developed by members of our community—with support from the Old Globe.
Twainfest (August 2014-2018)
Write Out Loud
I’ve been hired several times to play the assistant to the snake oil salesman at Twainfest in Old Town San Diego. We would sell “the elixir of the muse,” vapors taken from all your favorite turn of the century authors including Mary Shelly, Edgar Allen Poe, and Mark Twain himself! Guaranteed to cure your artistic constipation!

Red Planet Respite (September 2014)
Circle Circle dot dot at the La Jolla Playhouse
This science-play about the future of Mars exploration was originally developed at Arizona State University during our 2014 residency. Katie Harroff wrote the piece in collaboration with scientists and students from ASU. I helped too especially when it came to writing the “programming” for my character Demos, the friendly and tragically unhelpful robot at the Mars resort.
