Notes:
Winner of 8 national awards. Reviews have called it: "urgently relevant and wickedly funny". . . "a sardonic knockout, as hilarious as a tent full of clowns and as topical as next year's election" and. . . "a brisk, biting comedy that lunges for the throat."
Synopsis:
A lightning paced satire about Arthur Kellogg, a liberal college professor who writes a scathing satire of the Right, only to see it get published non-fiction, and embraced by far-right groups and militia groups as a manifesto. Before Arthur has a chance to fix the portrayal of the book, he winds up interviewed by 60 Minutes, abandoned by his wife, and ultimately blackmailed into delivering the keynote speech at the Republican National Convention, live, with unanticipated results

Notes:
THEODORA has been performed throughout the U.S. and presented at the Women Playwrights' Conference in Athens, Greece, 2000. Called "a historical free-for-all, like a combination of Meeting of the Minds and Laugh-In." . . . "a rich and amusing play about wor
Synopsis:
The unconventional "expose" of the courtesan, actress, and eventual Byzantine Empress alternately painted by history as a despot, a romantic heroine, a revolutionary and a nymphomaniac. Loosely tracking the events of her life, Theodora faces her historians across the ages-- characters named 1090, 1590, 1890 and a woman named 1990, filming her documentary. Using music, movement, and multi-media effects (though produced successfully without them), THEODORA is a thought-provoking and exuberantly funny exploration of the essential nature of history, biography, and whether you can ever know a woman completely.
