she
This new work explores the relationship between cultural rites of passage, the experience of being a woman, and the imagery in fairy tales in an attempt to create a new myth. The character of She is an archetypal heroine who is based on Allyson’s own experiences, as well as Gretel, Red Riding Hood, Rapunzel, Snow White’s Stepmother, the mysterious witch in the woods, Cinderella’s Fairy Godmother, and ultimately, the ancient Earth Goddess.

The Bridge of Bodies
Maria Therese, a young woman who immigrated to the United States from Haiti at age 11, finds at age 25 that she needs to return to Haiti to discover the source of the nightmares plaguing her for years. This is the story of a woman who must bridge the gap between culture and experience to understand who she truly is.
