I studied playwriting at Metropolitan State University in Denver in 2012, and have been writing plays since then. My completed plays are described briefly below. Please do not use any part of these plays for commercial purposes without my permission. I will be happy to send you samples for your private use, non-profit classroom use, or evaluation for potential production upon request.
