All plays end.  This is what happens next.

(ONE ACT / 2M, 1F) - A fast paced, mind bending, quasi romanti-tragi-dramedy that obliterates the fourth wall before building it back up again.  Penny is Penny.  But Richard is William.  And Roger?  He's just here to watch roger&tom.  Or is he?

"Critics' Pick.  Remarkable.  A comedy that's past clever and making it's way towards brilliant."

- Daniel M. Gold, The New York Times,  (NEW YORK 2013)

"The meta twists keep coming, and the more nuts things get (and they get pretty nuts) the more fun this light, whimsical play about the imagination is."

- The New Yorker (NEW YORK 2013)

Beautiful Morning

Waking up is hard to do.

(TWO ACTS / 3M, 4F) - The past and present are connected and unfold onstage simultaneously in this bittersweet drama.  One family, long estranged, is finally reunited but only by breaking apart.

“A nostalgic study in behavior and destiny containing what might be called a metaphysical suspense.  An engulfing atmosphere rolls in like surf.”

- Steven Leigh Morris, LA Weekly (LOS ANGELES)

Nicotine

Kick love. 

(TWO ACTS / 2M, 3F) - A collection of awkard, uncomfortable snapshots, this dark comedy explores four relationships at their most human and vulnerable moments.  Why are we so addicted to this deadly habit?  Why do we fall in love?

“Witty, fast-paced…shockingly original.”

- Michael Niederman, Off Off Online (NEW YORK)
