Hi! You’re receiving this email if you’re a friend, colleague, or mentor of mine. I am notoriously inconsistent with sharing new things going on my life and have desired a simple way to share career updates and events with everyone I care about. I will send brief emails periodically! Please feel free to unsubscribe if you’re emailed-out. (I’ll still send you a holiday e-card though!)

Why “The Elusive Chartreuse”? It’s a pun of my name and the Mariah Carey album Me. I am Mariah…The Elusive Chanteuse. Yes, I am a Lamb. And I sing and compose music!

1. I start my MFA in Playwriting at Columbia on Sept 3. I’m very excited! Classes I’ll be taking my first semester: TV Pilot, Fundamentals of Directing, Playwriting I, History & Theory of Theatre, and American Spectacle (with Lynn Nottage!)

2. I published a poem in Issue 22: Beyond the Margin, edited by the Ebony Tomatoes Collective, a Black, intersectional literary and arts magazine. Check it out! https://www.blurb.com/b/12041339-issue-22-beyond-the-margin

   

   There also will be a virtual event on Sept 14 where I and the other contributors discuss this issue. Save the date; I’ll send along more info as soon as I have it.
