 Plays

1M 1W 2M/W

Two scientists plumb through a man's memories in attempts to confront his problems and his past... and to secure more grant funding. A surreal and rhythmic play that examines how our memories follow us and the cost of keeping them. Drama

Originally commissioned for the launch of Skyline Theatre. 

2M 1W

Three actors attempt to unravel the development of history by going through the highlights of your Theater History class. Because why theater? Why create it? Why produce it? Why watch it? What is it for? Watch as they discover their answers, and you might discover yours. Comedy/Drama

Runner up for the 2007 Harry Rintoul award for best local play.

1M

Geoffrey, a misanthropic office clerk, becomes obsessed with the story of Brian, a young boy raised in a sealed chamber, safe from the hostile world outside. Manic reporters, renegade cops and self-absorbed siblings collide as Geoffrey’s pursuit threatens to unravel his own life. Comedy/Drama

 

4M 1W

(With Sebastien Ball) Two pairs of buddies come to the local coffee house to drink java, shoot the shit and work out their problems. Little do they know that the hour that follows will be filled to brim with hilarity, hijinks and even a little bit of romance. Oh, and pie. Lots and lots of pie. Comedy.

My first produced play, this show has a lot of good memories attached to it. It's certainly an early effort in a lot of ways, featuring little more than segways into the next expository conversation or ridiculous joke, but the show will always have a place in my heart.

1M

A young man is faced with a crisis of faith surrounding his high school graduation and a huge Christian youth retreat. How can he reconcile his feelings when they run counter to the teachings he has grown up with? Drama.

Written in 2005, performed at the 2006 Winnipeg Fringe Festival and the 2007 FRIGID New York festival, JC,IS is my first one man show and a labor of love. While flawed in several ways, I'm pleased with the building block in both my writing and performing career that the play presents.

3M 1W

(With Cory Wreggitt) Carlo has decided to rekindle the magic of the grand romantic gesture and in order to do so enlists the help of his reluctant roommates. His plan: To write a play to win back the girl that stole his heart. If you could say just one last thing to that special someone, what would it be? Drama/Comedy
