American Notes

The action of the play is made up of a series of concurrent actions, some set in a tacky motel, somewhere else, involving a group of disparate, but curiously related, people. There is the young night clerk, Pauline, who studies her high school English Lit notebook while growing increasingly fearful of the unseen and unwanted suitor who lies in wait in the motel parking lot; a raucous carnival barker touting his giant crocodile, Bonecrusher; a pair of seedy bar denizens who occasionally break into song; a dim-witted handyman, Chuckles, who performs pointless errands; a deranged scientist who believes that he is in contact with creatures from outer space; an abandoned woman who waits restlessly for a lover who will probably never return; and a mysterious drifter, Faber, who somehow becomes the catalyst which fuses all these divergent elements into a cohesive, and often wildly funny, whole. And, in so doing, makes the play both an encapsulation of the American myth and, at the same time, a telling commentary on

Careless Love

Four characters on Christmas Eve. A rooming house in an American city. An old pitchman prepares dinner when a young girl knocks on his door. The landlady knits while her silent super shovels coal. Moments in their lives. . .and a song or two. (This play can also be performed as part of the full-length play

Christmas Song

Country Doctor, A

Is comprised of a series of vignettes involving characters who, at first, appear to bear no relation to each other. A mysterious figure gives a scholar an ancient manuscript to translate; a thief steals an enormous jewel; a woman assures us that life is all coincidence; a dream-like waitress serves her customers all manner of thoughts and suggestions, but no food. The images created are bizarrely funny and provocative and, in time, coalesce into a pattern of driving concerns and obsessions which come into focus when the various characters finally meet at an oculists convention in Mexico City. Phantasmagoric and convoluted, the play is a journey which, in the final essence, transcends the physical world to explore the seat of true reality
