On The Hard, a two-act play
Who hasn’t dreamed of trading their boss for a squawking parrot, buying a boat and sailing into the sunset? The Pact concerns a couple who sold their house and are living in a funky boatyard aboard their fix-up sailboat as they ready it for cruising the Caribbean. Tom works on the boat while Victoria brings in a paycheck.
But their goals are buffeted off course. Expenses increase. Money is borrowed. Lies are told. Blackmail is threatened. How committed are they to their dream? To each other?
Affirmation, A two-act play
A "transcendental who-done-it" follows the fallout of a decision made by a televangelist during an active shooting in the church rectory. This dramatic two-act questions martyrdom, faith, and reason.
Both audiences and actors gave high praise to Affirmations after two staged readings in 2017 and 2018. They were "captivated from the first scene to the last" and expressed appreciation for the emotional depth of the dialogue.
Wind Farm, A two-act play
In the heart of their generations-old homestead, a family is split apart over plans to erect industrial wind turbines. As the turbines loom over their land, allegiances fracture, and secrets simmer beneath the surface. Katy, returning home to care for her ailing mother, faces an impossible choice: loyalty to tradition or embracing progress. But in this battle, flimsy weapons—those hidden truths—may prove more dangerous than anyone expects. Wind Farm promises suspense, family dynamics, and the struggle between modernity and heritage, drawing inspiration from King Lear and Enemy of the People.
