My first one act play, entitled Sodomy Rules! (The Bowers v. Hardwick Trial) was based on the work of Anna Deavere Smith's documentary style theater and is representative of all of my work, in that it incorporates meta-theatrical elements of story telling while centering on individuals who feel marginalized. Through interviews, court transcripts and other material associated with the infamous Supreme Court Trial, I constructed a series of monologues to recreate the story of one gay man's fight for privacy against the backdrop of the Reagan Era during the AIDS crisis. I continue to revise this play as our Supreme Court is currently in flux. My two one-act plays, Broken Window Theory and Stage Monster, examine the often marginalized communities of intensely creative LGBTQ+ artists living in New York City. Broken Window Theory examines a playwright questioning his life choices, Stage Monster pitches both the characters and the spectators into a perilous journey through the mind of a Beckett scholar who has gone "off the rails." Each of these plays are ultimately, examinations of the perils of being perceived as different from those around you. My newest work, The Vastation of Alice James (based on Henry James' The Turn of the Screw) examines a young woman's journey to self-actualization in harrowing circumstances. All of these plays and their narratives are complex journeys, with multiple revelations, wherein my characters struggle with self-deception and find hope in the emergence of their greatest creations, their newly won reinvention.
