The Maiden and the Makita

Written with Cornelia Duryee Moore. 
Directed by Cynthia White

2 year touring history including:
Seattle Fringe Festival, Bumbershoot Festival, Canadian Fringe Theatre Circuit, and a number of church venues.

1 act with music.  1 female performer.

The Maiden and The Makita is an immaculately reconceived story:  The Virgin Mary is depressed and can’t get out of bed.  Her lover, the Holy Spirit, got her pregnant and split.  She struggles to get out from under the covers aided by icons – a lounge singer, a computer combat figure, and someone in the distance with a halo.  But it’s not until the miraculous cordless drill appears that she is able to reconstruct her life.

This hour-long solo work combines live original music, multiple characters, and feminist theology into a provocative, enlivening performance.   It has toured Canada and the U.S.
  Provocative. Irreverently clever and downright amazing, this show is a must-see.

Standing Ground

Directed by John Longenbaugh and Bob Marion

Seattle Fringe Festival, Odd Duck Studio, and Cabaret appearances

3 short monologues. 1-3 female performers.

Your home?  Your passion?  Your work?  Where do you draw the line?  Where do you stand your ground?  Standing Ground begins with a visit to the Center for Useful Things, moves into an intimate conversation about world domination with a woman in a slip, and takes a leisurely walk across a cornfield. With humor, live music, and three-prong adapters, three characters engage the audience in the question of how you stand your ground.

  Talented and quirky approach to the material.
