4:48 Psychosis
Explores the anguish of madness from the inside out – a stream-of-consciousness view of one young woman’s struggle to attain peace while society attempts to dull her pain with drugs, therapy and other treatments.

The Lottery
Villagers in a small New England town excitedly gather for the yearly lottery, a tradition in place for over 77 years. The Lottery represents any human institution which is allowed to continue unchallenged and unconsidered. Two plays about ostracism and the strangeness of the human psyche; one story told through internal madness and destruction, the other through comic adherence of antiquated rituals.
