I wrote Crazy Bag 3 years ago while living far from home,
high in the rocky mountains of Colorado. I wrote the show as
a means of coming to terms with my life...never imagining how
it would change it.

In 2007, Crazy Bag  went to the Colorado Theatre Festival
winning best director, actress and set. It then performed in
Breckenridge, Aspen and Denver. In May of last year,I left
my full-time (“dull, but normal”) job to tour the show
across the southwest-living out of  suitcases and pulling
500 lbs of baggage on a trailer  behind me...the epitome of
life imitating art.

The bags eventually came home to Asheville, where the
journey began in  college, 15 years ago. The true humor in  
this show is that it brought me right back to where I started
to find what I’d been looking for all along.

This show changed my life. My greatest hope is that it will
touch yours.
