A Spirited Manor
FULL LENGTH - Victorian supernatural
A grieving widow. A house with secrets. And an invitation to a seance...
When Clara O'Hare's husband passed away, she felt her life was over. But when she moves into a new home to escape the memories, she discovers that she may not be alone...
Desperate to find answers, she attends a séance in a remote country home surrounded by a colorful cast of strangers. But something sinister has decided to make itself known. It will be up to her and medium, Wesley Lowenherz, to find out what the spirits of the manor are dying to tell them.
Laced with gothic romance and paranormal mystery, A Spirited Manor is a fast-paced adventure that examines the journey from grief to purpose, and the return to life after loss.

Late Shift
ONE ACT - Bonnie has been working the late shift at Don's Diner for the past twenty years. It has been her second home and a source of pride. Tonight is Joe's first day as a cook at Don's Diner and he's late. As these two clash waiting for a 2:00 a.m. rush that may not ever happen, they discover that hopes and dreams come too late for some, and sometimes people are too late in their lives to make a shift.
Late Shift is an exploration of the ruts that people get into, the petty day-to-day minutia that becomes exponentially important, and the tragedy of unrealized dreams as people wait for The Moment.

The Mysterious Affair at Styles
This faithful, new adaptation of Agatha Christie's novel THE MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR AT STYLES introduces audiences to the first mystery of Hercule Poirot.
The year is 1916 and, injured in WWI, Hastings finds himself convalescing at the manor of his old friend, John Cavendish. But when John's mother is poisoned in the middle of the night, everyone becomes a suspect. The only person who can solve the crime is none other than the famed Belgium detective, Hercule Poirot.
Agatha Christie's gifts of misdirection are on full display as red herrings, twists, and turns lead the audience on a dizzying journey to find out whodunnit.

Art from the Heart
featuring my piece
“America - July 2022”
Director's Cut Theatre is very excited to present a new 'Art from the Heart' show - an evening of short stories by artists, sharing their art through their heart.
Funny, dark, musical and poetic, 'Art from the Heart' steps into the soul of what it means to be an artist, revealing an insight into the highs, lows, shapes and patterns of this ever changing, ever evolving journey. With artists speaking directly to you, 'Art from the Heart' is a mix of live art, new writing and devised sketches. Stories told are based in truth, from personal experiences, to meaningful messages, questions and provocations, we share themes of our human experience; the inspiration behind all creation and story-telling.
