    When middle-aged, single, Sci-Fi lover Winona Grey wins NeuroTech’s A.I. Companion Bot International Sweepstakes, she’s determined to get her proverbial money’s worth by picking the most high-tech Companion she can. (After all, she’ll never be able to afford one otherwise.) Enter Delta Zero, NeuroTech’s next generation prototype. Going for broke, Winona places Delta Zero in a Special Limited Edition Companion Bot based on her favorite video game character, the notorious archvillain, Commander Novestri Zero from the Psychic Exodus series.

    Questions of intimacy, romance, Sci-Fi, & A.I. morality unfold as Winona’s life with Delta Zero reveals itself in a collage of memorable moments, familial encounters, corporate intrigue, & International Gaming Conventions as NeuroTech attempts to recall the Delta Line.

    Psychic Exodus is a love song to romance, Sci-Fi, and the human desire to be loved.

    Inside an Epic RPG video game’s breakroom, BootySnack, Omnipone, and NPC Devron are introduced to newly released, Special Edition water mage, Aqua Vitae (Default). Comedic chaos ensues as Default explores the hacked server they inhabit. The eerie uncertainty of First Time hangs over Bootysnack, Omnipone, and Devron as they play thru Aqua Vitae’s story.

    Why is Default’s User avoiding battles? What’s up with the Donut? What’s the point of playing when the game’s totally hacked? Who crashed the server by dueling Devron in the breakroom? (Everyone knows you’re not supposed to do that!)

    And most importantly... why hasn’t Default encountered Devron In-Game?

    Eternal Escort is a celebration of Gaming culture and old school video game nostalgia.

  • UnWritten
    Full Length: A solitary Art Dragon approaches, aggravating local insecurities and enticing Book Binder to look beyond present Livelihood, into the possibility of an UnDreamed Future, where writing and storytelling are more than frivolous fancies for entertaining kids.

    This play is an exploration of the UnWritten. The stories we should tell, yet often times ignore. The importance of following...
    Full Length: A solitary Art Dragon approaches, aggravating local insecurities and enticing Book Binder to look beyond present Livelihood, into the possibility of an UnDreamed Future, where writing and storytelling are more than frivolous fancies for entertaining kids.

    This play is an exploration of the UnWritten. The stories we should tell, yet often times ignore. The importance of following Dreams and actively encouraging such things in Others, taking action instead of passively standing by, enabling.
  • Jesse's Game
    Full Length: Jesse’s Game is a study of gender stereotypes, presented thru a collage of pop music and the experiences of Jesse X and Jesse Y, (a woman and a man with personalities incompatible with traditional gender roles). Based in the #HeForShe philosophy that Men are as shackled by prejudice as Women, it’s designed to draw attention to the blatant discrepancies in how boys and girls are raised, and to...
    Full Length: Jesse’s Game is a study of gender stereotypes, presented thru a collage of pop music and the experiences of Jesse X and Jesse Y, (a woman and a man with personalities incompatible with traditional gender roles). Based in the #HeForShe philosophy that Men are as shackled by prejudice as Women, it’s designed to draw attention to the blatant discrepancies in how boys and girls are raised, and to spotlight how those discrepancies are subtly, (and not-so subtly), perpetuated into adulthood. By alternately stripping away variables and juxtaposing the double standards of Male and Female experience, it forces the audience to confront their own personal prejudices.

    Note: There is a line in Act III that the playwright wishes to customize depending on the race/experiences of the actor playing JESSE X. The current script reflects the playwright's race/experience.

    Note: 2 parts, MOM Y and DAD X, are relatively small and not seen on stage. Doubling and/or use of crew voices may be feasible.
  • Shatter
    One Act: How do we lose ourselves? And how do we find ourselves again, once we’ve been lost?

    Jasmine, (a woman who's lost interest in every aspect of her life), struggles to regain her identity by acknowledging her long repressed fears and denied passions. Archetypes from her psyche manifest to guide and protect her during her spirit’s reawakening. Lochran’s unconditional love supports her...
    One Act: How do we lose ourselves? And how do we find ourselves again, once we’ve been lost?

    Jasmine, (a woman who's lost interest in every aspect of her life), struggles to regain her identity by acknowledging her long repressed fears and denied passions. Archetypes from her psyche manifest to guide and protect her during her spirit’s reawakening. Lochran’s unconditional love supports her, reminding her to love and respect herself while opening the way for Teacher to show her how to regain and hone the skills she abandoned and allowed to fade. This internal schooling is overseen by Gatekeeper, who knows instinctually when Jasmine is ready to face Crying Woman, the powerful, (and for Jasmine, terrifying), embodiment of all the unacknowledged fears and insecurities holding Jasmine back.

    Shatter is a visual explosion, a portrait of a psychological shift, and a study of the fears and invisible chains with which we bind ourselves.

    More importantly, it's a call to live.
  • A Dragon Is Coming!
    Full Length: Book Man and Creature of Few Words observe and experience traffic as travelers converge on the city of Eclesia to see the Art Dragon, Kalliper, perform.

They befriend Kronos, a common man of uncommon wisdom...
    Full Length: Book Man and Creature of Few Words observe and experience traffic as travelers converge on the city of Eclesia to see the Art Dragon, Kalliper, perform. As the day progresses, they encounter Dragon groupies, peddlers, trackers, a scientist, a sword for hire, and a murder of Crows that descends upon the land, exploiting everything it touches. They befriend Kronos, a common man of uncommon wisdom, who begins to learn how they experience the world, and they perform an impromptu play with a passing Musician and Appolonius, (a young actor seeking to become Kalliper’s disciple).

    This play is an exploration of how we, (as individuals, groups, artists, and a society), interact, (or fail to interact), with art and other artists in our daily lives, especially when those artists and craftsmen are famous, widely revered, and/or held in high esteem. It’s a call to re-examine our relationship with art, and to challenge our preconceptions about the people who make it.

    All roles are either gender neutral or easily made so.
