  • Whole Against the Sky (Full Length)

    A gripping family drama. Jack and Linda’s mother is about to be re-married and they have reluctantly returned home for the wedding. Each was wounded by their family. Jack, never felt accepted as a gay man and his mother remains aloof. In the second act Jack’s mother tries to make amends in a clumsy way with disastrous results. The characters are vivid, the dialog is sharp and funny, and play illustrates how hard it is to know each other, especially if you’re in the same family.

  • A Dance Card
    27 Jan. 2022
    Courtship/romance/relations all economically shown in dance and rhyme. Incredibly theatrical, this begs to be staged.
  • 1,077 (The Shooter Play)
    27 Jan. 2022
    This is an amazing and unsettling play about the mind of a school shooter. In a twist on a Christmas Carol, John, a potential shooter, is shown what leads up to the shooting, the industry that encourages shootings, and the effects. While covering many sides of the issue of guns, the play never verse into stereotype, focusing on a character.
