Driven by insecurity and the desire for status, Westerberg High’s resident nobody Veronica Sawyer sees the stars align when she manages to find her way into the most popular group at school - the beautiful yet unforgiving Heathers. Her dreams feel just a step away until a strange, trench-coat-wearing rebel named JD enters her life and turns it upside down, teaching her that although it may kill to be a nobody, it certainly murders to be a somebody…

From as early as I can recall, writing has always been my passion. Being able to combine this with my love for theatre has been a rewarding and exhilarating experience. I truly believe that there is magic in seeing a story brought to life on stage, and this is what I would like to promote to audiences.
