The Pitch was written in the fall of 2001. It depicts two screenwriters feverishly pitching their comic book action version of the aftermath of September 11th. The play is bold and challenging -- it pulls no punches. It may be even more relevant and timely now than when it was first written. It's also a comedy, believe it or not. |

Things Have Changed is a dizzying narrative spectacle of a play which traces the relationship of two women over the course of a week. Three narrators with wildly differing viewpoints vie with one another on how to tell their strange love story. The play touches on Reality TV, the Big Dig, the conversion of units to the metric system, gay marriage, and most importantly, 10 years of these characters' lives. |

Stick and Move is a comedy in which a couple is on a first date. Their fumbling attempts to converse with one another and not make a fool of themselves are interrupted periodically by the boxing "corner men" who give them the rough hewn advice and pep talks that they need to finish the date the right way. This play is available in the 2009 Edition of The Best 10-Minute Plays for 2 or More Actors (Smith & Kraus, 2009). |
