TEN MINUTE. TWO-HANDER. TWO CHAIRS AND A COOLER.
Every year Luis and Kyle celebrate National Best Friends Day fishing off a bridge on mile marker 65, Long Key Bridge, Key West, FL. This year might be Kyle's last since terminable cancer grips him, but Luis is not ready to accept that; he's got other plans.

ONE ACT. 4 CHARACTERS. BOX SET.
A plaque is meant to honor a deceased local figure-- beloved, complicated, foundational. The text has already been approved “in principle.” This meeting is only to fix minor language. It does not remain minor.

FULL LENGTH. 2M, 1F, 1NB. MULTIPLE SETTINGS.
After a S&M role-playing session with his lover-slash-boss, between continuous thwarted plans by his unrequited son, and before a landspout strikes, a polyamorous widower, Randall Winning, returns home with every intention to honor his wife’s final wishes amidst the woods of Idaho's countryside.
Will he have the gall, after years of biting his tongue, to lay to rest the one despicable memory that weighs him down from moving forward or go on baring it?

FULL-LENGTH. 1W, 3M, 1DRAG QUEEN. MULTIPLE SETS.
This fresh new work revolves around young Cuban American roomies Vic and Adam who are throwing an off-the-chain Friday night rooftop barbecue with their friends: a Columbian bombshell; a British hunk; a Nubian ghetto drag queen; and whoever else decides to show up Bohemian¬style, as usual. Only the "usual" quickly tumbles into a life shattering moment that tests their friendship.

Jose Félipé, an overbearing tyrant, keeps strict rules of no men ever stepping foot inside his domain surrounded by sugarcane fields. While inside, his beautiful and dangerously curious daughter, Luz, coming of age tomorrow, is confined to roam the Gothic empty halls, rooms filled with dusty clothed laden furniture, and walls sentried by ominous portraits. Liberty possibly arrives in a turbulent storm as Luz is surprised by the housemaid’s mariner son, Luis, at her towers’ windowsill.

Unclearly exiled as a child, Dr. Mirta Martinez returns to her birth place, Cuba, to make sense of long overdue answers missing from her life. Although, now here, laying both her parents to rest, she’s faced with accepting their last dying wish of practicing modern medicine in an indigenous community. Concurrently, Clara De La Fuente, a young island diviner is granted a vision of her eldest brother, Santi, falling pray to darkness. Unsure where to turn, she succumbs to the trappings of Las Brujeras, black magic witches, who manipulate her blood for ill-doing. It will take both these women to believe in themselves and each other for the scales of life and death to balance.

As rock-throwers and prejudice tongues corrupt the streets, Jesus, an orphan bereaved of his cruel parents, finds sanctuary in a countryside hovel where his poetic heart quenches misunderstandings between a married couple, Dolores and Victor. Subtle frictions erupt of this unconventional lovers triangle, but nothing will prepare Jesus to handle the destructive path of a wrathful curse Dolores keeps from both men and the fate it resigns him to.
