Finding Yellow

The end of pride spectacular

Person with red umbrella on empty theater stage facing seats.

Currently in progress, "Finding Yellow" is a solo piece following the story of being late. Late to choose your path, late to come out, late to be diagnosed. Through the lens of a queer neurodivergent playwright, Quinn highlights the messy joy and lovely absurdity of meeting yourself for the first time and finding your  light.

Abridged Version Produced 2024 at Pittsburgh Playhouse “ARTfully UPlifting”

Written as a comedic love letter to the drag artists of Pittsburgh, this jukebox drag musical highlights the behind-the-scenes that we often don't see of building performances. Through love, drama, passion, and many layers of fishnets, five of Pittsburgh's best drag queens will remind us what finding pride in community is all about!

Procession in Process

Procession in Process

Memorial text with a redacted name on a black background.

How do you grieve a name? How do we grieve identity and coming out? "Procession in Process" is a dramatic and thrilling solo piece in which I throw my deadname a funeral. Highlighting community experiences such as picking out the right name, coming out to a parent, and pure gender euphoria; this piece celebrates a death and sends dysphoria six feet under. 

Semi-Sweet

Retro TV screen displaying 'Semi-Sweet' over color bars.

Get your recipe book and a cup of coffee, we are heading into the kitchen! Mimicking a 50's style baking show, we follow our host and baker as an average day in the life slowly turns into a revelation-in cookies. Comparing the cycles of generational trauma to the bitter taste of oatmeal raisin cookies, "Semi-Sweet" is all about fixing old problems and old recipes. 

Meisner Man

I'm in the Moo'd for a walk

I'm in the Moo'd for a walk

Colorful comic-style text reading 'MEISNER MAN'.

This high-energy one act is a satire piece based around the structure of a typical B.F.A Program - if it were a comic book. By day, we have our mild mannered acting professors and their emotional support dogs, then by night? Wham! Crash! Ka-Chow! The unlikely team of Meisner Man adn Captain Chekhov. Join these two heros as they team up to take down the cocky schoolboard and still get their lesson plans in on time.

I'm in the Moo'd for a walk

Where do you go when the world is closed? You just keep walking. This lighthearted story illustrates simple love and ties between mother and child. When all else is unsafe and unsure, this duo finds closeness in their daily walks to visit the cows of their hometown.
