DUPLEX

My first-ever full length musical DUPLEX had a successful 3-week run at the Boston Center of the Arts in May & June, 2005. Find out more about the show and you'll get a taste of what earned critical praise in the Boston Globe and the Phoenix.

FILMS

I've co-written, co-produced, acted in and scored music for five films as part of the 48 Hour Film Festival. Enjoy!

Sweeter by Far

A short musical about a girl in love with the singer at the local cabaret. Produced as part of the 48 Hour Film Project in Boston 2004. I won best Original Music, and the film was voted among the Best of Boston 2004.

At it Again

A married couple in a loveless marriage reacts when a mysterious man comes to their house. This is a musical that was made as part of the 2005 48 Hour Film Project in Boston.

Getting Gary

Two girls work together and against each other to land the man across the hall

Fatal Deduction

An undercover spy, Jack Bland, must ensure a major international treaty is signed, a diplomat is safe, evil Bunny Whoresmore is defeated, and his taxes are properly filed. Made as part of the 2008 Boston 48 Hour Film Project.

The Bean and the Bean

Two coffee beans, an organic fair trade bean, and a conventional bean, take very different routes to their grocers shelves. Made as part of the 48 Hour Film Project's Equal Exchange Invitational in Boston in September, 2008.

POEMS

The following poems comprise my FINAL PORTFOLIO as submitted at the end of my Advanced Poetry class spring semester 2004. Each one is written in the voice of one of the main characters from my forthcoming musical DUPLEX. What can I say? I'm a big believer in cross-training! :) I found it a very valuable way to explore new depths at the heart of my characters, to levels I've never touched before. Another thing I learned is, well, pretty much, how much I have to learn. I'm still a novice poet, so please learn that befure plunging ahead! I hope you enjoy them!!

For Gordon as he Sleeps - in the voice of SUZANNE, 34, Gordon's wife.
