Four men in their sixties gather at their usual spot...a cabin in the woods...to play cards, eat wings and complain about their various ailments. But one of them has news of a new woman in his life...a much younger woman. The weekend is spent trying to reconcile this new information with his age, his widow and his widows brother (who is, to say the least, not crazy about this news.)
A great opportunity for older men to show off their skills, this play makes a sweet companion piece to WOMEN OF A CERTAIN AGE

Thomas and Judie Springer are a typical Midwestern American couple in their early thirties. They have typical conservative values which include God, guns and trucks. At the same time, they have an infestation of hummingbirds in the house. They keep getting in and then breaking their little necks on the front room picture window as they try to get out.
A gentle creature floats into the lives of these two fairly hardened individuals. She’s Thomas’ niece. His estranged brother’s daughter. Estranged because Thomas’ brother Lucas is a “flaming liberal” as Thomas calls him. But Violet is quite different than the last time he saw her. She’s fifteen and goes by Vince now. Lucas threw her out and she hopped a bus to her only relative…her uncle Thomas. Her very conservative Uncle Thomas.

Set in Elora, Ontario, Canada we meet a traveling, alcoholic, painter who travels by bicycle across the country painting and selling in various communities so he can use the money to feed his addiction. He occasionally stays long enough to form relationships but moves on when things get too involved. This time, the relationship proves to be too much for him and he rolls on once again. Based on a true story.

A collection of six short plays all centered on the theme of Forgiveness and Redemption. Can a daughter forgive her father for his infidelity? Can a son forgive his newly discovered father for abandoning him fourteen years ago? Can a young boy turned older man forgive the priest who abused him? Are any of these people redeemable?

The Plays

A Simple Redemption​ - This play, written in two parts, opens the first and second acts. It's a discussion between and older person and younger person about the fact that one cannot seem to forgive the other over some indiscretion or offense. The roles reverse in the second part.

​Breaking Up - 17 year old Emily confronts her father when she discovers that he has been cheating on her mother for years.

​Making Amends - Three monologues that deal with the idea of making amends in the long term and the short. A hit-and-run accident decades earlier still haunts one character. The indiscretion of a fling at a work conference haunts another. The third deals with a young man's loss of faith and his failure to reveal it to his dying mother. This play is about missed opportunities.

​Fourteen Years - Dueling "takes" on the "23 and me" culture, this play looks at two first-time meetings. One between and mother and daughter, the other between a father and a son. Both children were abandoned fourteen years earlier. As the play unfolds, we watch how each parent and each child handles the situation. Spoiler: one pair does vastly better than the other!

Reparations - What happens when a rapist and his victim bump into each other fourteen years later? Both are in therapy, both are trying to heal. Can we see any humanity in the rapist? This play explores that question.

​Raped By God - In this Greek chorus style piece we see the whole cast voice the pain and horror that is child abuse by the clergy. Is there any redemption for the people?

Epilogue - The play ends with a challenge to look inward and a charge to open our eyes to the injustice and pain in our world, in our communities and in our own lives.
