In January, I organized a Creative Producing Summit for forty writer-producers with the Venturous Theater Fund, and New Dramatists. It was a terrific day a conversations and resource sharing that I was glad to be part of.

Andy Awarded grant from The Artists Patron Fund
In August 2018, I was awarded a grant from The Artist’s Patron Fund to support my next production. I am grateful for the support!
“Summit” at Berkeley Rep Ground Floor
“Summit”, a new play that Andy is writing for Ana Graham and Antonio Vega of Por Piedad Teatro, was developed during a residency at Berkeley Rep Ground Floor in June 2018. Along with Ana and Antonio, the performers were Dinah Berkeley, and Andy.
