Works In Progress
THE BURNING LILY
It’s 1950 and in a small Indiana town, Mrs. John Randall (Cassandra) is labeled a scandalous woman. After suffering years of abuse from her husband, she has an affair with the mayor and subsequently loses custody of her children. With no income or support, she gets a job writing a romance column (The Burning Lily) under a pseudonym for a local paper. Determined to change custody laws so she can see her children, she gets swept up in fighting for women’s rights by day while writing cliched love stories by night. Inspired by the life and writings of 19th century novelist and social reformer Caroline Elizabeth Sarah Norton, The Burning Lily is a story about the many worlds women inhabit: as wife, mother, lover and activist and what happens when these worlds collide.
LOVE IS A CURIOUS THING
Behavioral biologist Fiona knows falling in love with a co-worker is a gamble, one whose only payoff could be a broken heart and a bad job review. Late one night while studying experiments in the lab, she falls asleep and has a dream-induced realization that helps her observe how opposites alternately attract and repel each other, much like cats and dogs. Using music from the album “Love is a Curious Thing", dance, tango, poetry and narrative all ask the eternal question: Can we ever really know what love is?
NYC and ME
After finding out her boyfriend slept with her best friend, burned-out yoga teacher Morgan loses her cool in class and is fired. Fed up with chasing the dream of a peaceful life on the West Coast that was anything but nirvana, she leaves Portland to return home to her native New York City. Along the way she meets a cast of characters, all hoping to re-discover who they really are, knowing the city won’t hold back from telling them the truth.
