About The Play
Dark comedy. Requires one actor of either gender. 8-9 minutes. One setting, requiring a chair.
Stealing Saxophones from Homeless People was written for my friend, Jake River Fraser, who premiered it at the Street Theatre in Canberra, Australia as part of A Bunch of Fives.
Synopsis
When your mother tells you at the age of three that you're going to end up stealing saxophones from homeless people, you're saddled with a heavy burden. In Stealing Saxophones..., Jake fights a lifelong battle to avoid fulfilling his mother's prophecy. Can he do it?
Online Playwriting Class Starts on May 21st! I will be teaching a month-long online playwriting class through Writers University beginning on May 21.
Festivals, Festivals, Festivals I am excited to be attending a number of national conferences in the coming months. First up, the International Thespian Festival in Lincoln, Nebraska in late June, where I'll be teaching a quartet of writing workshops and hanging out at the Playscripts booth!
The Locker Next to Mine Now Available
My new play, The Locker Next to Mine, is now available. It's a full-length drama, though spiked with humor, about teen suicide and dealing with loss. I'm looking for a group to stage the world premiere. Could that be you?
Though the one-act version, available from Playscripts, stands on its own (and is perfect for competition!), this play was always intended to be a full-length composed of three acts: Rumors of Polar Bears, Ursa Major and Northern Lights. Look for the other two plays in the cycle sometime in 2012.
