Hiraeth is a dreamlike journey through love, grief, and reimagined belonging — told by one girl, a lost box of letters, and a lush forest that may or may not be real. A meditation on memory, spirit, and the longing to return to something you never quite had. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68b4756d47bf625bc600c521/47ec47c1-fecb-414a-8f7c-81711038c113/limerance+site.png Plays First performed in 2017 at the 13th St Repertory Theater in New York City. Five women. One circle. Countless stories. Told through memory, poetry, and raw confession, Limerence weaves together a series of monologues and shared reflections that explore addiction, trauma, awakening, and the subtle dance between fear and freedom. At once intimate and expansive, the play invites us to sit with the mess of being human — and to listen closely as sorrow becomes insight, and silence gives way to grace. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68b4756d47bf625bc600c521/1a6e0f21-e423-4d09-9384-b835bf56299f/Screenshot+2025-09-02+at+8.38.27%E2%80%AFPM.png Plays First performed in 2015 at the Writer's Place in Kansas City, MO. Part concert, part monologue, part personal reckoning. This short musical play follows the early journey of songwriter Dan Coyle — through the fields of rural New York, insomnia-fueled nights, the discovery of a guitar, and the quiet moments that shaped a life of creative persistence. https://www.dancoyle.com/offerings daily 0.75 2025-09-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68b4756d47bf625bc600c521/452007d7-480f-41dc-94c3-de22f5714ef8/Prompt+deck+site.png Offerings 30 prompts to spark reflection, conversation, and connection — beautifully crafted, freely gifted. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68b4756d47bf625bc600c521/b75c06fe-4c32-4ff2-9ac9-c0cbe6e1c240/Story+Lantern+site.png Offerings A small flame passed forward, helping stories reach whoever might need them next. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68b4756d47bf625bc600c521/5ba7ada9-1856-47ee-bbad-78d2c605675a/Zoom+Salon+site.png Offerings Fri, Feb 13 at 1pm ET.
