A writer for the stage and screen, Rae’s newest play, Code Feet, had a reading in the prestigious Metzler New Works Festival with the A.D.Players at the George Theater in Houston, Texas on May 24, 2022. Thanks to the joint efforts of Jonathan Williams of the Jonathan Williams Center for the Performing Arts in Beaumont, Texas and the now late Van Dirk Fisher of the Riant in New York, her play Tied, a one - man play, was the recipient of the Black Seed Grant Award and enjoyed a warm reception at its world premiere produced by On the Verge theatre in collaboration with The Ensemble Theatre in Houston, Texas. Lions, a one- woman play, written and performed by Rae was chosen for the New York New Work Festival in 2018 and also won first place in the Houston Play on Purpose competition. She is more than elated that her newest work Lil’ Man Saves Christmas has been added to The Ensemble Theatre’s Tour Education. Her writing has also been featured in Houston’s Fade to Black Festival. She leads puppeteering workshops for incarcerated youth through Houston’s Brave Little Company and is writing and directing short films starring puppets for both children and adult audiences alike. When she isn’t hammering out writing commissions you can find her annoying her neighbors with her tap dancing and amateur playing her banjo, Ellise Pearl. This theater educator by day and writer by night, hopes to continue telling Sunday school stories through an adult lens for a postmodern world.
