“Two Squirrels On A Powerline.” Ignore the “Fincaster” on the screen. I’m from Fincastle. Even in English some things get lost in translation!
“The Science Fair Project.”
“Nobody Ever Asks Me.” Great product placement for the book about one-minute plays, which I am honored to be included in.

The cast. Director Kerry Plank is second from the left. Brigid DePalma (center, in purple) played the title role.
Eleven years after it was first produced, my play VIRGINIA’S REAL came back to life with a staged reading at Attic Productions in Fincastle, Virginia on March 4, 2017.
VIRGINIA’S REAL
A Southern family is divided over what to do with the family farm when the patriarch retires. The drama focuses on the farmer’s youngest daughter, a waitress and single mom named Virginia, who is eager to subdivide the farm as a way to make her fortune. Her goal is complicated by the prospect
of a new highway going through the neighborhood – and the discovery of Civil War artifacts on the site. The story deals with a variety of universal themes, but also many topical references, from urbanization of rural areas, the preservation of historical sites, and NASCAR. Cast : 11 – 4 adult females, 3 adult males, 4 female children (two teens, two pre-teens), and one off-stage voice which can be either male or female. Set requirements: Minimal, although at various points you’ll need to create some aspects of a
kitchen and a diner.

My 10-minute play THE PICTURE WINDOW was produced Sept. 30, Oct. 1-2, 2016 in the North Park Playwrights Festival in San Diego. Here are three photos:
The ghost of Bert looks on as his widow, Sally, interacts with a visiting nurse.
Those are Bert’s ashes scattered on the floor. The urn containing them was knocked to the floor by a baseball that came crashing through the window.
Bert left instructions that whoever was the first to knock a baseball through the picture window would win a scholarship to his alma mater.
