Momologue Collective is an ongoing project in progress with many self-identifying mothers as contributors and collaborators. These non-fiction narratives inform my playwriting.

 

Variations of "Momologues" play, first developed in 2022, have been developed and performed at Bunnell Street Arts Center (Homer, AK), The Basement (Fairbanks, AK) and the University of Southern Maine (Gorham, ME).

"This play forced my introspection and also forced me to consider the reasons for my discomfort. I believe that discomfort is exactly the effect the playwright intended to produce in audience members." - Hank Nuwer, Fairbanks Daily News-Miner, 2023

​

"I was very impressed by the human heartbeat in the writing and the raw and honest emotional commitment of the actors to the stories. They were clearly well directed. Overall, an exhilarating theatrical event." - Derek Campbell, 2026

"Boarding Motherhood" was selected for a reading at the Valdez Theater Conference in 2025.

"Mom, Look!" was selected at the Valdez Theater Conference in 2026, and produced by Pier One Theatre in Homer, Alaska in 2025.  NPX

“A beautiful slice of life play, and a reflection on death, having kids, the importance of knowing how to handle a teenager at the door, a new baby, and a kid handing you a playdough poop (sparkling with glitter!) all at once... Allen has created a charming play that reveals great depth in a short, gentle story.” - Arthur M Jolly, 2026

"Small Craft Advisory" is currently in development.
