I am the guest speaker for the August 2024 PyTexas virtual meetup. I will be giving my talk “Two Kinds of Scripting: What Writing Plays Has Taught Me About Writing Python Programs,” originally written for North Bay Python 2023.

The meetup takes place on Discord; more info here.

A dispatch from 2020; a dress from Y2K. During lockdown, a thwarted playwright tries to make sense of the 21st century by writing time-travel fiction.

I will be reading selections from the novel I tried to write in June 2020 as part of the EXIT Theatre’s “Adventures in Place: A Post, a Poem, a Prayer.” For 12 nights in November, Stuart Bousel and friends will be presenting work created during and in response to the first two years of the Pandemic.

The show has different “special guests” each night so I am only appearing on Thursday November 10, but I encourage you to check out the other evenings if you are unable to attend my specific night!

Tickets are $20 in cash at the door.

Before the pandemic hit, San Francisco’s EXIT Theatre was set to stage my short play “The Great Man Theory” in summer 2020, part of an anthology evening of short plays titled These People’s History of the 20th Century.

The production has been rescheduled for next year, but in the meantime, 7 of the 20th Century writers did a Facebook livestream with the EXIT’s Amanda Ortmayer about our project and how we are dealing with the tumult of 2020.

You can watch the video recording of our chat here.

I will be speaking at a Hackbright Academy panel where alumnae talk about their job search and their experiences as women breaking into tech. Admission is free, but you are encouraged to RSVP on Eventbrite.
