Susie McGarry as Pastor Bobby in "Adeste Fideles," featured in "A Very COVID Christmas," the short plays Festival at MadLab, in Columbus, Ohio (December 12-31, 2020).

The joyous season! The holly and the ivy! The Christmas candlelight service! And a pandemic. But Pastor Bobby is here to shepherd the faithful flock through the challenges. Sadly, this particular good shepherd has no idea what's in store for all of them.

Many thanks to MadLab, to Susie McGarry, and to director, Tay Lane!

Many thanks to Jon L. Peacock and everyone, readers and audience, at Play Readings with Friends!

It was great fun to hear my play, "A Point of Diminishing Returns," included in the reading today.

Thank you for the valuable feedback and for a fun afternoon!

My play, “Adeste Fideles" is one of eight included in "A Very COVID Christmas" to be produced at MadLab in December 2020.

In "Adeste Fideles," Pastor Bobby tries valiantly to shepherd the faithful flock through the Christmas Eve Candlelight Service while at the same time navigating the challenges presented by COVID.

"A Very COVID Christmas" is a collection of 8 short plays specifically written to incorporate social distancing, PPE, and/or protective barriers between actors. 

Performances at Madlab will be limited to 15% or less of total capacity to ensure appropriate distancing among audience members, and masks are required at all times.   

Tickets will be on sale in November, and the digital version of the show  show will be on sale in December.

A reading of my play, “The Body Politic" was available for a limited time on YouTube starting Monday, April 27, 2020 at 6 p.m.

My play was one of four chosen by Evolution Theatre Company for the Local Playwrights Festival 2020: Rainbow Wave. Unfortunately, the festival was canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Thank you to everyone who watched on YouTube!

Thank you for supporting Evolution Theatre Company, the artists who create and perform live theater, and playwrights (like me!)!

A stalwart political conservative.
Three senior staffers.
A clandestine late-night meeting.
Scandal. Hypocrisy. Spin.

Just another day in the life for the body politic.
