Bringing Theatre to the Community and Communities into the Theatre.

At the heart of my work is a profound belief in the transformative power of community theater. It's more than just a stage; it's a vibrant hub where stories come alive, talents are nurtured, and connections are forged that strengthen the very fabric of our neighborhoods. As a playwright, my mission is to serve this vital ecosystem, crafting plays that are not only deeply engaging but also genuinely practical and rewarding for community theaters to bring to life.

I understand the unique challenges and incredible passion that drive community theater. That's why every one of my scripts is intentionally designed to empower directors, excite actors, and resonate with local audiences, ensuring a successful and fulfilling production experience.

Here’s what makes my plays perfectly positioned for your community theater:

1. Adaptive & Inclusive Casting: Roles for Every Talent

• Made for a Diverse Talent Pool: My plays are written with flexible casting in mind. Many feature strategic doubling opportunities (like in Seeking Mister Hyde or Spirit/Song, where doubling is integral to the narrative!), allowing you to achieve a rich ensemble with a manageable number of actors.

• Celebrating All Ages: From significant roles for experienced, older actors (Don Quixote de La Center, Small Potatoes) to ample opportunities for youth ensembles (Al Capone Does My Shirts, The Wishing-Ring), my scripts ensure that your community's full spectrum of talent can shine.

2. Resource-Friendly Production: Art Without the High Cost

• Practicality Built-In: I understand the realities of community theater budgets and resources. My plays consistently feature manageable set requirements (often single, adaptable, or representational spaces like the farm in There's Still Snow on Silver Star or the unit set in Seeking Mister Hyde).

• Efficient Design: Minimal props and sensible costume needs mean less strain on your production teams, allowing you to focus your energy on performance and storytelling. Even plays with unique technical elements, like the live video in Live in 3,2,1..., are conceived to be achievable with readily available and cost-effective equipment.

3. Engaging & Thematically Rich Stories: Connecting with Your Audience

• Compelling Narratives: Whether adapting beloved, award-winning novels (Al Capone Does My Shirts) or classic tales (Robin Hood), exploring poignant contemporary issues (Don Quixote de La Center), or delving into historical dramas and mysteries (Seeking Mister Hyde, Spirit/Song, There's Still Snow on Silver Star), my plays offer stories that entertain, provoke thought, and foster strong community connection.

• "Theatre for All": My commitment is to create theatre that resonates universally, welcoming every heart to the experience. These are plays that spark conversation and create shared memories for diverse audiences.

4. Proven Success & Reliability: Confidence for Your Next Season

• I don't just write plays; I write plays that get produced and succeed in community settings. With a strong track record of multiple productions across the country, you can trust that my scripts are not only well-written but also thoroughly stageworthy and audience-tested by theaters just like yours.
