if you bury me

Now, in the basement of a small-town parish, a mysterious empty coffin appears. A secret underground society must investigate why; Nightingale hears sounds of the past, while Rook sees visions of the future. Their supervisor, Swallow, needs answers, but the woman who claimed to know everything is missing.


if you bury me is a fantasy for queer imaginations, following a group of mystical storytellers as they learn what grows from the dead and what begins in the end. 

Most recently, if you bury me was presented as a part of Atlantic Theater Company’s MixFest and The Makers’ Ensemble’s PRISM Festival. Originally developed as an audio drama, called The Doctor is Dead, IYBM was further developed and adapted for live performance at Polyphone Festival in 2024. FINALIST for National Musical Theatre Conference in 2026, Rhinebeck Writers Retreat in 2026, NAMT Fall Conference in 2023 and 2024, and the Jonathan Larson Grant in 2022.
