This play began as an exploration of my relationship with my father, who passed away many years ago. He was a person I never knew so I created a fictional father/son reconciliation.

Having reached rock bottom, Harry reconnects with his estranged artist father. When the old man's health appears in decline, Harry is caught between cashing in his famous father's art in order to save himself, and reconciling their long-ago destroyed relationship.

As I was setting out to write a new play I was balancing two separate ideas, unsure which one to explore. The first was about the cycles of abuse... how people who grow up to become abusers were often abused themselves. The second idea was the idea of "time travel parties" where gatherings were held at places like MIT and CalTech, where scientists test the possibility of time travel. I ended up bringing these two ideas together and this play was the outcome.

If you could go back and change your life, would you? - - -

A fledgling scientific genius and his little sister grow tired of being teased and neglected by their overprotective mother and deadbeat uncle. When the boy witnesses what he thinks is his uncle’s nefarious deed, he decides to devote himself to creating a miraculous invention that will save he and his sister from their miserable life.

I read a news article many years ago that told the story of a teenage girl who was raped at a party and then blamed for the event when it went to trial. I have set out to write this play many times over the years as I have found my way into the narrative. This play is the result of my identifying the early moments in life when young men are at the intersection of good and evil. Some move down one of the paths and never turn back. Others remain at that intersection forever.

This play is part of a four-part series following a young teenager from the precipice of high school graduation, to joining the military, fighting in Iraq, and eventually going AWOL after experiencing atrocities he could not condone.

| Inspired by a true story |

It's December 31, 1999 and five American teenagers gather to celebrate the new year. With Y2k looming over them, the teens play music and drinking games while debating what the future may hold. As the night of heavy drinking gives way to the sunrise the following morning, Heather is left with foggy memories and a sinking feeling something horrifying happened to her that night.

I started to write this play nine years ago with the question "When a couple in a toxic relationship try to one-up each other in an argument, how far could one take it?" The result became a bit dark and uncomfortable. Over the years, I have placed this piece back in the drawer. I struggle with the bleakness of the work because I yearn for hope. After a recent conversation on this topic, I decided to reinvest some time into this piece.

The walls are closing in on Cody and Betsy. They're sure they love each other, but they're as trapped in their own fantasies as they are the broken down trailer where they live. If Cody can get off the clouds he's huffing, perhaps they can finally open that door and walk outside. The thing is, they can't help but stand in each other's way and there isn't much the sleeping dog in the corner, or the baby growing inside Betsy will do to help the situation.

When I listened to the podcast "S Town," I was obsessed with a part of it where the town clerk was tasked with calling a list of people to tell them somebody they knew died. I wanted to explore that experience. I also wanted to write something that could be funny. This is the result (and is still a work in progress).

| One act solo play |

A depressed legal assistant is tasked with calling individuals on a list left behind by a man who committed suicide. The work assignment could not come a worse time, as they are dealing with their own life/work existential crisis while their mother and sister badger them via text message. Wanting to connect with their estranged father, it's a few kind words from a stranger that might give them what they ultimately need.

A couple years ago I was commissioned to write a short play. The news of Tamir Rice's shooting was all I could think about. He did not immediately die when the police shot him. He was on the ground, bleeding to death, and nobody attended to him. They just waited for paramedics to arrive. I could not shake this fact. I never will. I wrote this piece to honor Tamir Rice and his mother.

| 10 minute play |

Inspired by the shooting death of Tamir Rice by a police officer in Cleveland, "Protect & Serve" explores the aftermath of a similar tragedy. Following the funeral for her son, a mother confronts a police officer and a friend of the family. She desperately pleas for him to explain why this happened and who was looking out for her son as he laid bleeding on the ground. She is ultimately left wondering what parents are supposed to tell children when the people who are meant to protect them could be a source of danger.
