When I first started writing I wanted to write massive epics like the Lord of Rings series and Star Wars -- the kind of writing Ian's working on right now. I was around six years old when I started and soon realized how difficult it is which is when I switched to playwriting at around eight years old under the false assumption that it was easier than prose.

Two Short Pieces
Bypassed and Park Bench, two short plays that I really have no idea what I want to do with. Ideas?
Echoes Down the Corridor
The year was 2010, I had just finished performing Arthur Miller's The Crucible. I loved that play, and the characters, and was very interested in the "epilogue" provided to us by Mr. Miller. It was one paragraph, and briefly gave the actual known history of what happened afterwards, as well as a legend or two about some of the characters. He titled it Echoes Down the Corridor, from which I drew the title of this play.
Letter to Santa
Along with You, Me. Him, Her. Letter to Santa was submitted to YPF 2010. Both were rejected.
You, Me. Him, Her.
You, Me. Him, Her. has an interesting history, and sadly I no longer have the various drafts I wrote as the story developed. I first wrote it as a response to a girl saying 'no' when I asked her out, at one point I intended for it to be a modern Cinderella, I even attempted to flesh it out and make it a full three act play, bits and pieces of which can be seen in my most recently produced play -One Last Dance-.
Coffee House(Original)
Coffee House was the fourth play I submitted to YPF, and the second that was accepted. It was performed in 2011. This is the version that was approved and subsequently handed out to the actors and director, it is substantially different than the version that made it to the stage.
The Restaurant of Broken Dreams
One of two plays I submitted to Walden Theatre's 2012 Young Playwright's Festival. This one didn't make it in, even though it's one of my personal favorites. It is based off a conversation that was overheard in a Burger King.
