Notes: This play has been developed at SoHo Rep, the Lark Theatre, and The Sundance Theatre Lab 2005.

Synopsis: chronicles the period of adolescence in girls when the tools of growing up are also weapons. In it, Lauren and Eliza, best friends who enter pubescence at different times, become divided socially and psychologically by the changes their bodies undergo (or don't). In the end, Eliza is accused of something she doesn't yet understand and for years to come Lauren holds herself accountable for the act of growing up, an act that became more dangerous than she could have possibly anticipated.

Notes: This play was developed in a Clubbed Thumb Theater workshop

Synopsis: Mike, a Chinese immigrant cab driver, and Lars and Lucretia, middle-aged Swedish-Americans, have never met until Mike hits and injures their son. After that, their lives are inextricably bound as Lars and Lucretia take the law into their own hands. A play about love, guilt and loss, "Everything You Have" chronicles the aftermath of an accident, a time when everyone is to blame and no one is, and the punishment becomes less about the crime than about grief itself.

Synopsis: DNA. The combination of those three letters conjures up tales of science, double helixes, and countless CSI episodes. The intriguing story of Photograph 51 is its exploration of how relationships may have played a role in the breakthrough discovery of the structure of DNA. Now, of course, that infamous double helix is so well-known, even a caveman, well, never mind. Suffice it to say that understanding the molecular structure of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) was tantamount to unlocking the secret of life. This taut little thriller highlights a scientist whose meticulous research formed the basis of the discovery, but who was essentially ignored and forgotten amidst the international recognition and awards, including the coveted Nobel Prize. Every once and awhile, one hears that a woman scientist was involved, whose work and ideas were usurped, packaged, and submitted by the infamous duo Watson and Crick as totally their own. Photograph 51 bares all by showing what happened among the dedicated scientists, inadvertently or otherwise, in the quest for knowledge, answers, and meaning. The rather cryptic and strange title refers to the 51st x-ray photo that Rosalind Franklin took as part of her meticulous research. It was apparently this particular shot that shed enough light on the subject to explain the inexplicable formation, helped the scientists grasp the molecular formation enough to make a model, and gave birth to the rock stars of genetic discovery. Who was this hard working woman behind the scenes? Why didn't she get the credit that she deserved? What's the big deal of the helix? Why does it matter? Well, just that it sheds light on the molecular structure of all living matter on the planet. That's all. Photograph 51 adds to the intrigue by zeroing in on the characters, showing their intentions, complex motivations, and regrets.
