Seeing Maya
Full-length play, Drama-Comedy
Producer: Order Chaos Theater Company | January, 2024
Can we love outside the lines? Where do we draw the border between our hearts? Do we have the courage to go into the disputed territory beyond our normality to make the human connection?
In this Tel Aviv love story, under the stress of the Gulf war, Danny, 26, American, meets his Israeli neighbor, Maya, 52. Cultures clash and hearts unexpectedly open. Traditional family roles fail revealing a different, deeper love that challenges us to open to the unknown of true intimacy. How serious can it get? Let’s find out.
Exit Dust
Full-length play, Comedy
Producer: Theatre Artsists Studio | May, 2022
Dusty is a time traveler from the tech-enabled future where there is no discrimination based on gender or race or anything. But while working at Trader Joe’s, she has fallen in love with Jesse from the present. Jesse brings her home to meet his difficult Jewish family hoping they can all get along. Jesse’s father has Alzheimer’s and when Dusty cures him with technology from the future all hell breaks loose. It’s a family comedy and love story about people moving in different directions in time, and whether they can change course to go somewhere new and better together. In the end, EVERYONE has to choose between past and future.
Love Disorder
Full-length play, Comedy
Producer: iTheatre Collaborative | November, 2014
Breaking up is hard to do, and so is staying together, in this comedy about couples and their discontents. When Laura attempts to separate from her boyfriend, Percy, because the only feelings he seems to possess are “sports feelings”, their circle of friends must reassess their own relationships as well.
Do we lose our individuality in love or do we gain it? Are we doomed to reenact our parents’ less than inspiring domesticities, or can we break free of the past to set our own course of the heart? These and other profound questions are lightly touched upon, as we follow Laura&Percy, RobnKiki and JustinErica through the passions, conflicts, delusions and resolutions of their love disorders.
