Shorts
Over the years I’ve had the opportunity to write and stage many short plays - probably too many to be interesting to list here. In lieu of trying to create a punchy log line for each of them, let me list a few things that they’ve involved:
Southwest Airlines; Divorce; Basketball; Lasagna; Poorly Cooked Spaghetti; Pittsburgh; Thanksgiving; The Ocean; Dads; Moms; Siblings; Supernovas; Inappropriate Party Hats; Submarines; Bartenders; The Red Sox (oddly frequently); Addiction; Loss; Love; Hot Dogs.
