  • The Prettiest Eyes - 3 minute play
    10 May. 2021
    A short and revealing play that leaves the audience with as many questions as it does answers. Intriguing characters with quite a backstory -- I'd love to see an extended version!
  • What Melvin Bought for This Week's Game Night
    10 May. 2021
    A funny piece that would brighten up the line-up of any 10 min play festival.
  • A TOUR of The Early 21st Century Reproductive System (The Way We Used to Have Babies) & Real Live Birth Experience!
    8 May. 2021
    I am absolutely obsessed with this. Beautiful, funny, charming, silly, sad, haunting ...this monologue is more than just a tour of the female reproductive system, but also a tour de force for the actress playing DONNA. The emotional range the role requires is great, but to see this performed by the right skilled actress would be a phenomenal experience. Please produce this! We need these kinds of shows in our theatres.
  • Jane Goodall: A Play for Children
    8 May. 2021
    A lovely and educational little TYA play. Would be great performance material for students or an excellent offering at science or children's museums, zoos, and more.
  • The Little Mermaid (for ages 5+)
    8 May. 2021
    The emphasis on family and the inclusion of real-world events (such as the hurricane) make this an accessible piece of theatre for young audiences. Children will come away wanting to devise their own tales (and tails?) at home.
  • The Pied Piper of Hoboken
    7 May. 2021
    I had the pleasure of playing Ophelia Newton-John in the IndyFringe production of this play. As actors, we had a hell of a good time, and the audience was always appreciative. A fun, 50 min romp filled with both classical & pop culture references.
  • Ado: An Adaptation of Much Ado about Nothing (50 minutes)
    7 May. 2021
    A fun and succinct version of MUCH ADO that is perfect for high school and college students. It's part Spark Notes: Live, Onstage! and part I AND YOU as students Heather and Jake try their best to cram before the big Shakespeare test.
  • Rounds Per Second
    22 Apr. 2021
    A haunting and revelatory look at the relativity of gun violence.
  • The Games We Play
    22 Apr. 2021
    Heartbreaking. The senselessness of gun violence deeply resonates in the innocence of these two children.
  • Carrot Sticks (5 min play)
    22 Apr. 2021
    Powerful, poignant, and full of unspoken grief. A beautiful tribute.
