2025 Season
The Few
Four years ago, Bryan abandoned his labor of love, a newspaper for truckers. Now he’s returned – with no word of where he’s been – and things have changed. His former lover is filled with rage, his new coworker is filled with incessant adoration, and his paper is filled with personal ads. As he considers giving up for good, Bryan searches for what he couldn’t find on the road: a way to keep faith in humanity.
The Few runs approximately 90 minutes.
The Few was presented as an Equity Showcase Reading at Producer’s Club Theatre, 358 W 44th St, New York, NY 10036 in the fall of 2026.

In A Word
Today is the two-year anniversary of Fiona’s son’s disappearance, and still, nothing makes sense to her. Not her blasé husband, the incompetent detective, or the neighborhood kidnapper who keeps introducing himself in the checkout line. As Fiona delves back into her memories of that fateful day, to uncover that crucial missing piece, grief and comedy collide, and ordinary turns of phrase take on dangerous new meanings.
In A Word runs approximately 75 minutes.
In A Word was presented as an Equity Showcase Reading at Producer’s Club Theatre, 358 W 44th St, New York, NY 10036 in the summer of 2025.
