What I Know
Kayla wrote her first full-length play as a Senior Capstone project in Spring 2015. What I Know is Kayla's most experimental work to date.

The show had a staged reading at Pitt in April 2015, directed by Brittany Coyne and starring Arianne Kraiman, Reilly Galvin, Matt Vitullo, Zack Williams, and Madrid Vinarski. It was then put on as a full production as a part of the Performance Collaborative's Summer Company 2015 Season, directed by Amy Wooler and Mason Jaynes and starring Leenie Baker, Hsuan Chang, Theo Campbell, Zack Williams, and Jessica Lynn Smith.

My Doomsday Off
In the Spring 2014 Semester, Kayla served as head writer for the University of Pittsburgh Stages' Sketch Show: My Doomsday Off. The project was headed by director Ric Walker, founder of Pitt's improv group, Ruckus. Her sketch titled "The Devil's Mark" was featured in the show. The sketch explored the rather deep idea of getting a hickey in the 1950s.
