Playwright, lyricist, and dramaturg Arianna Rose returns to Lights Up! for a heartfelt conversation about MAKE MULCH FROM IT, a 15-minute drama that tenderly explores the aftershocks of love lost, the ache of unresolved endings, and the longing to heal. Arianna reflects on how she turned heartbreak into art and honors the sacredness of memory. We also explore her process as a teacher and ever-evolving writer, and how she draws on history and personal experience to ground her work.


Keep an eye for Arianna's other exciting works in development!

• Musical: A Collectible Sensation—a bold, time-bending journey where the Cone sisters, Gertrude Stein, and Alice Toklas confront love, art, and the power of unapologetic selfhood.

• Play: The Lesser Leyendecker—a rich, memory-driven play exploring art, addiction, and identity through the lives of illustrators Frank and Joe Leyendecker.
