Tess and Stella used to be best friends. But then . . . The Regime. Public Schools are Catholic Schools. Expulsion is The Basket. Abortions are illegal. NO PINK YARN. As the divided friends plan their presentation for World History class, they join forces to punch history in the balls. 

Produced by Amios Theater Company's Shotz at The Kraine, NYC.

The Shotz Process:

Called a "theatrical time bomb" by The New York Times, 6 playwrights get a week to write a short play based around 3 conditions and a theme. A crack team of actors and directors is assembled to put them up. They get a week of rehearsal and it’s go time.

​

Mel & Cortney are sisters. Well, half. And estranged. From their dad's affair. Now sixteen and living on opposite sides of the country, they are reunited for the first time since they found out about each other six years ago. And what do they learn when left alone to bond? Life sucks. A lot. But surprisingly, they might just be what the other needs to pull through. 

Produced at Taipei American School in Taipei, Republic of China. 

A deranged series of ten minute plays about two early morning talk show hosts. Each episode features quirky, semi-psychotic guests like the creator of breast milk ice cream and a rabbi who owns a bar called Bar Mitzvah. 

Produced by #serials at The Flea, NYC and directed by Dominic Spillane and Liz Carlson.

A week after Krabbs awakes from a car crash-induced coma, 15-year-old Kellogs awaits him in a walk-in closet at a party. The guys dare her to “sexually revive” him. Except she's wasted. And gay for Bex. It's not until weirdo Jenga arrives in the closet through a secret passageway, that Kellogs finds an out.

Little Me; or The Fertility Play is a cute zygote of a piece that explores genetic engineering via an emotional, high stakes interrogation of a husband in Sperm Bank of the Future, eager to impregnate his wife. If a woman could make a designer baby with her fantasy man, rather than her husband, would she? As Ernest and his wife’s male fantasy Ivan compete, so do their spermatozoa. In the end, what’s more perfect: engineering a baby to have the perfect genes or making an imperfect baby whose imperfections make him or her perfectly part of the family?
