For those of you who have never met me, I’m a playwright who lives, works, and writes on Cape Cod. I’ve created this website in order to share the plays I’ve written over the last couple of years.
I’ve had the good fortune to see many of these plays produced. Unfortunately, there is no way to “mass market” a theatrical production. So my audience has been limited to the number of people who can buy tickets during the run of a show.
I’ve created this website in an effort to solve that problem and share my plays with whomever happens to wander onto my site.

Play Summaries & Scripts
Visit My Plays and you’ll find a complete list of the 23 plays I’ve written in the last few years. I’ve also included summaries of each play.
If you’re interested in reading a script, you’ll be able to download it by clicking the link on the bottom of each summary page. You can see a complete list of scripts in Downloads.
Performing My Plays
I’d enjoy nothing more than to have you and/or your organization perform one of my plays. If you are an actor who would like to use one of my plays for scene work, feel free to download the script and have at it. Email me and let me know how the play is received.
If you run a community-based organization or if you are involved in a charitable pursuit and find that one of my plays speaks to your constituents, I’d be happy to “loan” one of my plays to your charitable cause free of charge. Just let me know who you are and when you intend to perform the play.
If you represent a professional theater and are interested in reading and/or producing one of my plays, let me know. While I do not generally charge for staged readings of my work, I will need to be compensated for any full production of one of my plays. I’m sure we can work something out.

“My goals as a playwright are simple. I try to create a piece of art that is about something I feel deeply, something that reflects an important aspect of the way we live. I use my art to stimulate the audiences emotions and intellect, and to have these feelings and ideas haunt them well after the lights have come up and they’ve headed back to the safety and comfort of their homes.”
