Roguish Goblin Stories
Making the marginalized the main character.
What would it feel like to see someone like you onstage or in a book?
At Roguish Goblin Stories, we’re building the theatre company to make it happen.
Adventure with me as I build a new kind of theatre in real time: a theatre that helps us all imagine new worlds and take steps together towards what we dream is possible. All while supporting & being involved in marginalized artists' creative processes.
When you subscribe to RGS, you’re helping build a world where artists make a living, and you get to see someone like you on stage, screen & page.

Values, Beliefs & Vision
Vision:
I see a world where no artist starves, where questions are held in community, and learning is prized over productivity. I see a world where we gather around communal art with curiosity, viewing our differences not as threats, but as interesting pieces of the puzzle. I see a world where no one is jailed for the color of their skin, who they love, or what pronouns they use. A world where we learn from the land’s original caretakers and live in harmony with nature once more. A world where we all know that we matter, we are loved, and we have the power to co-create new worlds.
I’m aiming to make a company that can salary 12+ actors full-time, or better, plus understudies, with benefits, paid time off and childcare. A theatre that supports affordable housing, community gardens, community archives, and donates a portion of its profit to Land Back and Pride organizations every year.
No idea what the journey there will look like. But I’m excited to see what happens!
Values & beliefs:
None of us will be free until all of us are free.
Black lives matter.
Trans lives matter.
Aspec lives matter.
Return stolen land.
I don’t know what’s gonna happen, but we get through it together, with the arts.
I believe it’s a daily hourly choice to choose hope, possibility, unlearning oppressive systems, and process over product. Living in liminality and learning is messy, difficult, and worth it I don’t promise to be perfect. But I promise to take accountability, learn, and keep trying.
The theatre world is not what it could be. Our current system has done harm to so many, and continues to hold to white supremacist systems instead of being a place to build alternative realities. On behalf of the theatre world, I am sorry. I’m sorry for how I’ve participated in that harm, knowingly and unknowingly, as an actor, writer, teacher, producer, and fight choreographer. I’m starting my antiracism journey with the We See You White American Theatre document and Nicole Brewer’s book Antiracist Theatre, knowing that I will be on this journey for the rest of my life.

New Shakespeare Podcast!
Welcome to “An Aspec Guide to Shakespeare,” a show for those who’d rather hear their dog bark at a crow than someone swear they love them.
As an aspec Shakespeare actor, I want to create the resource I haven’t had yet. A space made by and for aspec community to shine, where scholars can share ideas and artists can turn dramaturgies into action (and productions).

New Memoir Podcast!
Welcome to “Our Lives Aren’t That Interesting,” a show for those who feel like they aren’t worth mentioning, Spoilers: you are. And the world is better with you in it.
I am so excited to be bringing you this podcast. So many of you have been asking for a memoir of not just me, but my parents, because of the…let’s say adventurous stories we’ve lived through.
We want to share what we’ve learned, how we celebrate in the midst of everything going wrong, why our first dog was terrified of the toaster: the funny, the heartbreaking, and everything in between.
All to remind you that you are valuable even when you’re just living, and the world is better with you in it.
So be prepared for lots of energy, my dad and me getting sidetracked while my mom just shakes her head, and the lessons we’ve learned that help make our lives better.
