In 2012, Andrew Breitbart wrote about Barack Obama speaking on a panel for a small Chicago theater years earlier, hoping it would cause the President’s downfall. That night, Breitbart had a heart attack and died, making it his final blog posting. What ensued was a tornado of conspiracy theories, spin and vitriol from his Alt-Right followers, putting the show's producer/director into a very unusual and scary spotlight. This story, though unbelievable, is entirely true.

She produced/directed Tony-nominee Herb Schapiro’s premiere of The Love Song of Saul Alinsky, which led to the bizarre circumstances for creating I Killed Andy Breitbart. A graduate of Syracuse University, she is a proud member of The Dramatists Guild.
