HEARTBURN

On the precipice of climate disaster, Mother Nature faces a crisis of faith. To save herself, she incarnates as a human, “Paul,” but finds life on earth more difficult than anticipated. Heartburn is a parable of Paul’s struggle to contend with family, heartbreak, racism, dementia, death and fatherhood on his quest to overcome modern hardships to be a moral person and find his opportunity to change the world.

Developed as a Next Stage Workshop at Boston University Fringe Festival.

FLOTSAM

Adapting the journey of the Odyssey to a modern American context, Flotsam focuses on the story of Odessa, a young woman who escapes her fundamentalist Christian upbringing, and on her journey across America finds herself caught in the wake of Joyce Montana, a delusional and sociopathic soldier who believes his journey to come back home is the most important  story ever told.
