Annie is a New York City based and Edmond, Oklahoma raised theatre & media artist. Her love for art and the creation of it is deeply rooted in her love for life, the human experience, and the complexities that come along with that. As a lover of queer media & untold stories, her work serves as an ode to human connection and the moments that make us feel truly alive! She is an Artist in Residence with The Players Theatre, Co-Founder of Purple Light Productions, proud Dramatist Guild member, and lover of sweet-treats! 

As a young child, I started off as a storyteller of the stage through performance. Passed down from older siblings, it was a world that was easy to grab my interest. But now, as a college student, my perceptions of art have shifted a bit and ultimately it has altered my ways of thinking and effected my creative desires. I still identify as a “storyteller of the stage” but rather than performing, I am often found on the production side of projects. As a playwright, composer, and creator in endless categories, I find it difficult to label just what I do and the things I desire to do in the future. Especially with newer innovations in the entertainment industry, everything does go hand and hand… video and virtual modeling is used to create a virtual world for not only live shows, but film and photography stages as well. Plays and musicals are adapting to the lifestyles of their community by offering pieces written specifically for podcasting. These are just two examples, but art is continuing to grow and has opportunities to reach people anywhere and everywhere, so as an artist and creator of theatre I strive to grow with it!

​Additionally, I must state that the basis of my passion for sharing stories lies in my admiration for the human experience and hatred for the “one story” lives that many of us live. Exploring new medias allows for innovation ultimately expanding the reachable audience. Art is everywhere, let’s use it to put some good in the world.
