one drop cool
nina, may, and cooper have been best friends and roommates for over a decade when a *juicy* family secret threatens to unravel their friendship. unfolding in real time, one drop cool is a comedy about how we see our friends, how we see ourselves, and how the american notion of race can be, frankly, ridiculous.
one drop cool was developed through the Moxie Arts NY incubator program and received a festival presentation in june 2023 at WP theater. it also had an informal reading at MCC in january 2024. complete development history here

T.A.R.
in an apocalyptic near future, an eccentric figure called T.A.R. hid a treasure he believed could save someone from the impending world ending “cataclysm,” as it would come to be called. all the finder had to do was decode a cryptic poem that contained all the clues one would need to locate the treasure. if you found it, you got to keep it. 100 years after said cataclysm, five siblings reunite following the death of their T.A.R. treasure-obsessed patriarch and try to make sense of the life he forced them to lead. along the way, they excavate their shared and very separate pasts. and also some treasure, maybe.
