I tell stories that get silly people invested in the very serious issues of silly characters.
I make weirdly fantastical things for grown ups who haven’t yet grown up. Absurdist comedy, nerdy, childish, fantastical settings, and commentary on strange societal norms we should not make normal. I like telling hard hitting, adventurous, fish out of water stories (that are one hundred percent about autistic people) as much as the next guy; but I also like the “fuck” word and find poorly cropping an image to be very amusing. No one leaves bored from a Bella show, no one leaves with nothing to discuss! Whether it’s a classic fairytale adventure of stuffed animals guards and Croc knights of the Inside Kingdom or the story of the most classified spy in a cozy Christmas town. It all leads to the same goal: showing my audiences that every single caricatural character you’ve ever experienced is a real person.
So let’s hear them out and try laughing with the comic relief!
If any of my works speak to you feel free to contact me to read it!

Barrel List A short play
Ari and Pit, senior college roommates and best friends forever, look over their fifth grade barrel list (a bucket was too small for their fifth grade dreams) of all the things they wanted to accomplish before they both turn twenty. In this short story we explore the feelings of running out of time, and mourning the idea of what future you and past you could be.
Produced in Pinnacle Productions' 24 Hour Playwriting Festival, Barrel List is a 10 minute play for two queer, feminine presenting actors one of which must be autistic.
The Inside Kingdom A one act play
New to the cozy, pastel, wonderland known as The Inside Kingdom, Inside Croc Knight longs to see what lurks outside the castle walls. Each citizen promises it's too dangerous outside, terrifying creatures lurk there according to Queen Bella, the only one who ever leaves. The Inside Kingdom asks us what protection looks like, and asks us to question who is keeping you safe and why?
The Inside Kingdom is roughly 30 minutes long and requires a cast of seven autistic actors of any gender, although the Queen should be played by a feminine presenting actor.
Together We're Us A short play
On his way to his job interview with the biggest kindness spreading organization in all of Wisconsin, Brandon shows less than exemplary kindness spreading skills. On his short commute he runs into passangers of fantastical proportions. Witches, moths, goo, robots, and creatures far too small to see. I'm sure he responds well to these strangers simply minding their own business. Right? Right?? In this rousing comedy, Together We're Us lets audiences laugh at the societal norm to laugh at those different to us.
Together We're Us is a ten minute play for 6 actors plus an opitional small ensemble.
