My latest play, 'The Surveillance Trilogy,' a play about domestic spying, just closed after a successful run at Theatre 40 in Beverly Hills. The L.A. Times noted: 'Whether profoundly or playfully rendered, Siskind's characters share a justified paranoia." 'The Surveillance Trilogy' is a black box set design, with three mini sets for seven actors. 'All My Distances Are Far' is black box; full length play. It has seven actors, character ages from 13 -25, with roles for Hispanic, Asian and African American actors. The monologue-driven play chronicles the struggles of six teens and their therapist over the course of a year (Fall, Winter, and Spring semesters) in a large urban high school. Each of their stories, lies, confessions, discoveries and ultimate changes spring from my work with at-risk adolescents. It is published by Steele Spring Stage Rights.
