honeyhole
Originally produced as part of Boston University’s Season of New Work in 2020, honeyhole takes place in a small town in South Georgia in the hotsweatyheat of a southern summer. honeyhole follows a young queer beauty queen’s journey with self-realization, first love, and her desire to fly away. When new-girl Ellis arrives in town, Lou begins to realize that the thing her mama has always thought would be her ticket to a bigger life outside of a few-stoplight-gossipy-sorta-town, might just be the thing that’s holding her back from becoming who she is, who she wants to be, and what she dreams of doing: hiking the Appalachian Trail like her father once did.

Fabric
Written by Jo Mercado & Directed by Sophronia Vowels
Produced as part if the Playwrights Project at Boston University in 2019
“In an unnamed metropolis stands Verona, a lone ballroom. This grand cathedral of the gays hosts extravagant competitions where two households, much alike in dignity, throw shade, bitchslap, and vogue the house down. Verona provides a feisty haven for otherwise disenfranchised queer POC to celebrate themselves. But when two foreign faces step up to walk and stake their claim in the ballroom scene, Verona’s inhabitants are forced to tackle questions of inheritance, appropriation, otherness, and the safety of the fabric of their community.”

Everything that Never Happened
Directed by Avital Shira
Boston University 2019 Season
“Jessica and Lorenzo are in love, but in order to be together they must plan an escape from her father's house, the Venetian ghetto, and her entire culture. Taking place in the gaps between The Merchant of Venice and the realities of Jewish history, Everything That Never Happened is a play about a father, a daughter, disguise, assimilation, pomegranates, and everything Shakespeare left out. “
