Artistic Statement

Artistic Statement

I write plays about people living in the Mon Valley. People who live in or a few miles outside of Pittsburgh, PA. I seek to find the extraordinary in the ordinary, to make the mundane poetic, and to make heroes out of flawed folks.

I write plays that make you sit forward, cling to the edge of your seat, and laugh. Tales that twist and turn like the Jack Rabbit at Kennywood. Stories worth the price of a theater ticket.

I write plays that can be done anywhere for any budget. They have simple sets with an emphasis on the oral tradition of theater, great dialogue, and the love of a good yarn.
