Synopsis:
Bunny Temple is an agoraphobe living in New York. Once a week he organizes a get-together of his friends, a narcoleptic, an apraxic, and a temporary amnesiac. What makes this gathering different is that Bunny has become the victim of an identity theft that has left him penniless and on the verge of expulsion from the safe harbor of his apartment. When the four decide to find the thief themselves, the amateur sleuths end up with more than they had bargained for.

Synopsis:
Ghost in the Light is based on the real life of Han Van Meegeren, considered to be one of the greatest art forgers in history. In the 1920s, Han was a struggling young artist in Holland. Happily married but tormented by his lack of success, Han decided to revenge his failures by painting a newly "discovered" Vermeer, and then tearing it to shreds after being declared a masterpiece. For three years he struggled to create his masterpiece which was declared "not just a Vermeer, but Vermeer's finest work", and sold for half a million dollars. During the next five years, he painted four more "newly discovered masterpieces" by Vermeer, becoming one of the wealthiest men in Holland. At the same time, his secret carried a price: the destruction of his marriage and morphine addiction. At the end of the war, one of his paintings was discovered in Herman Goering home. Its origin was traced back to Han, who was accused of treason for selling a Dutch masterpiece to the Nazi's.

Synopsis:
Winner of the 2006 Larry Corse Prize, The Gravedigger's Tango explores three relationships whose nexus is a graveyard. The first is between the Patrick "Trick" Bulifant, a scrappy young trailer-trash boy who has been hired to exhume a handful of graves, and Laszlo, the cemetery caretaker who's threatening to club anyone who does so with a shovel. The second relationship is between Trick-who in reality is a scrappy young trailer trash girl-and her boyfriend, the real Trick Bulifant who was hired to dig up the graves but broke his arm. Desperate for cash, Claire dons his clothes, picks up a shovel, and trudges out to do battle with Laszlo. Their role-reversal places them on divergent paths-her world expanding while his shrinks. Her growth is spurred by the third "story"-that of the woman who's grave is scheduled to be exhumed. Isabella's tale is a love story between an idealistic doctor and a young woman trapped in an impossible relationship. It begins on the English Moors and ends beneath a cemetery tree.

Notes:
These are three one act plays, each about one hour in length. They can be presented as stand alone pieces, or as a unit. The middle play, The History of Stone, received "Best Play" in the San Francisco Bay One Acts Festival.

Synopsis:
The Stone Trilogy presents three interrelated one-acts that portray the face of love, forgiveness, and oppression in three countries: Ireland, South Africa, and the United States. In Erin's Hope, a dark stranger approaches the True IRA with an offer to media "spin" their cause to the American public. The risks involved pit father against daughter, brother against brother, and young love against the forces of history. Set after the fall of Apartheid, a young black South African and a young female archeologist discover a cave filled with ancient African paintings in The History of Stone, the second play in the trilogy. The appearance of a white South African at their site creates an explosive atmosphere reminiscent of Sartre's No Exit. And finally, An Accident of Identity examines the accessibility of medicine in the United States, and the subtle dynamics of economics, race, and sexual orientation. Together, the plays present an emotional journey through the difficult landscape of forgiveness.

Synopsis:
Virgil, Dick, and Bert have gotten together under the guise of "poker night" to discuss what to do about their new neighbor, a man who trashes out his yard, drives down the wrong side of the street, and becomes belligerent when confronted. After much arguing, re-living the past, and grappling with the future, a plan is presented: they will go to Duncan's house at midnight and threaten to burn it down if he doesn't conform. The plan, however, doesn't go as expected. Duncan uses the confrontation as a forum to taunt and ridicule them. One of them, after the aborted confrontation, returns to shoot Duncan in his yard. Before the murder is solved, all of their lives are changed by the revelations. Vigilance deals with what people do in the face of society's quiet decay. Structurally, the first half of the play is a train wreck in slow motion. Violence is the inevitable outcome. The second half is a psychological "who dunnit", exploring the question of not just who killed Duncan, but from why
