Mick’s short plays have been included in play festivals in California and Arizona, including by Little Black Dress INK, Herberger Theater Center’s Kax Stage, El Camino Real Playhouse, and as part of the Studio’s New Summer Shorts. Her play Jitterbug was published in the inaugural edition of New Theatre Magazine. Additional credits include productions by City Lights Theatre Company in San Jose, California and Arizona Classical Theatre in Prescott. Her full-length play Cheap Food and Sex premieres in July of 2026 at Prescott’s new theatre “The Hazeltine.”
