New Work
Growing up in the middle of nowhere Arkansas, Pee-wee's Playhouse offered me a crucial Saturday morning window into a colorful world of quirky weirdos where being different wasn't just accepted, it was fully celebrated. Years later, realizing that Cowboy Curtis had gone on to become Morpheus in The Matrix felt strangely perfect. This piece brings those worlds together: a playful tribute to the joyful weirdness that shaped my imagination and the surprising connections we discover when we look back at the stories that raised us.
