A typical high school love story, "Less Than Perfect" follows Char as she grapples with her feelings for her best friend Ann (or Jazz as Char calls her) as homecoming approaches while simultaneously struggling to find her place, herself, and her purpose like so many of her peers around her. While a queer love story, the focus of this musical is on the love story and not being queer like so much of the LGBTQ+ media today. This musical is a story about growing up, finding one's place, and learning that things will always be "less than perfect" but that sometimes "less than perfect" is as perfect as it's ever gonna get.

A 10 minute play about how we view suicide, "Why?" is extremely open to interpretation and has many staging, blocking, and casting possibilities. It is an unconventional play written in a poetic format that urges the audience to rethink their view of suicide and its victims.
