FULL LENGTH PLAYS
Plumb
- A police officer discovers a man
kicking soccer balls on a high school field at 2 a.m. Having recently
been stuck by the needle of an addict she was searching, she
approaches cautiously. The man is clearly not just practicing his
kicks. Their inevitable confrontation is the beginning of a long and
complicated relationship. The man and woman are both
a threat and a potential salvation to each other as they get more
involved in each others lives, until a final misguided act of a
generosity forces her to choose between him and what is right. A play
about justice, friendship and blood.
Phoenix
- When Bruce and Sue meet four weeks after an uncharacteristic
one-night-stand, Sue has this to say to him: one, I had a great time
with you that night and two, let’s never see each other again. Thus
begins a 4,000 mile journey well beyond the confines of their carefully
structured worlds. Bruce is fueled by an overwhelming but undefined
compulsion to join her in Phoenix. Sue is reluctantly charmed by his
persistence, but steadfast in her resolve to keep him at bay. Both are
forced to consider a whole new world of possibility, though not one
free of difficulty and loss. A dramatic comedy about courage.
“A good time...it seduces you even when you know better...rich, anxious
subtext...the actors banter and play and flirt...allow yourself to get
intoxicated by the pleasures of...romantic comedy.” –The New York
Times
“An exceptionally well written play.” –EU Jacksonville
“Phoenix is at its best when it surprises…The playfulness and
intelligence…make us feel we’re in on a smart new joke instead of being
way ahead of a stale old one.” –Ross Reports
Point Last Seen -
Two friends face the fact that one of them is about to fired,
which in turn has both men and their wives re-assessing their
lives. A play about paint swatches, fertility sex, infidelity and
getting lost in the woods.
The Faithful
- A former minister who has lost his faith is confronted with a cult
escapee and a young man who believes he is channeling God.
