PENELOPE is one of two recipients of the 2026 Richard Rodgers Award for Musical Theatre. This award is such an immense honor, not just for the recognition of the work itself, but for the financial investment in the show’s New York City premiere. Ever since I started writing it, I’ve dreamed of PENELOPE having a full production in New York. This award makes that dream feel more possible, and I’m deeply grateful.
We first worked on “Isn’t It a Trial” with @beaniefeldstein when she was 16 years old. Later the glorious @marytesta.actress@uzoaduba and @queenlesli all slayed with it, before the Queen of Queens @thatgracemclean set her iconic stamp. But maybe the greatest thrill has been hearing so many new young Queens make it their own! ♥️🙌

2025: a bunch of stuff happened, some pictured, most not. The stuff that happened was not always great but the people were. I’m 45 min from home after almost a month driving across the country and back. Lots of traveling in 25 which is fun but man is it nice to come home. I like my little home and am grateful for it and for the people and memories who come home with me in my heart, friends and family new and old ❤️
🐔🎵 Wasn't that a fun one?! 🎻🤣
