The Written Word

Stage Plays

In 2014 I became involved in a series of workshops where the subject was writing One Act stage plays. This grew into The Ventura Writers’ Block, a group of local writers producing plays a few times a year.

Five of my short plays have since been extended into full length versions and I’ve continued to build a library of one-acts. Several more are in various stages of completeness as with any writer.

  • The Plagiarist (WINNER, Julie Harris Playwriting Competition, 2022)
  • Escape (WINNER, Moondance Festival 2017)
  • Resurruption (Finalist, Moondance Festival 2016)
  • Psylo and Psylo, the Musical
  • Safety (short) (Selection, Warner Int’l Playwright Festival 2016)
  • Fail Safe (short) (Winner, Worst Nightmare Play Festival, 2020)
