Stage Play Portfolio

Being Ernest

New York City 1936. A pulp mystery writer struggles with whiskey, self-doubt, and an outsized ambition. Though he has a steady gig penning the Detective Sloan serial, he dreams of literary greatness—but fears he’ll never break into the elite publications. When a chance encounter with an autograph seeker leads to a case of mistaken identity, William makes a fateful choice to embrace the mix-up and ride the wave of unearned fame. What begins as a harmless barroom gag quickly spirals into professional and personal disaster, forcing him to confront the price of ambition, the allure of fame, and the meaning of integrity.

The Weigh Station

Set in a nineteen-fifties styled diner approximately five-hundred years into the future, the Weigh Station dramatizes a contest between God and the devil for heaven’s final soul.

Painting With Water

Painting With Water

Confined to a care home, terminally ill literature professor Harold Graves grapples with his past, his regrets, and the slow erosion of control over his final days. His sharp wit and defiance mask a quiet desperation. As he spars with a sharp-tongued drifter who delivered him to his final destination, Harold forms an unlikely bond with a pragmatic priest, forcing him to confront the meaning of faith, redemption, and what—if anything—he'll leave behind.
