My plays are organized into full-lengths, one-acts, and ten-minutes. I've included a plot summary, cast and production requirements, and script history. Everything has been produced or published, or both.

I pulled a monologue from each play to give you a sense of my writing. You're welcome to use them to audition. If you like what you see, contact me and I'll e-mail the script to you.

I started writing essays to amuse my friends and make it through yet another workday in a basement cubicle. Some have since been published.
