Theatre has always been my passion. Experience the joy of Reading a Script!
During and after one of the most horrific tragedies our nation has ever faced, our keyboards kept us connected. Email: 9/12 is a five-character play that demonstrates how sharing, caring, grieving and even allowing a spark of humor to fly through cyberspace helped our nation get through the painful aftermath of 9/11. It would be great for any American History class.

In story theatre fashion, the play brings the fables of the Eastern Woodland Indians to life. Stories range from the creation of the world, the clans, European Explorers to ritual. Many Snows Ago is based on the extremely short tales of the Lenape and other Eastern Woodland People. The dramatization and embellishment of these tales was done to engage today’s young audience while still imparting the wisdom of this noble group of people. Perfect for schools and actors of all ages. Perfect for an elementary school unit on indigenous people.
