Notes:
Based on the bestselling Bantam/Spectra novel Terminal (2005) by Brian Keene, co-written with Brian Keene.
Synopsis:
Tommy O'Brien once hoped to leave his run-down industrial hometown. But marriage and fatherhood have kept him running in place, working a job that doesn't even pay the bills. And now he seems fated to stay for the rest of his life. Tommy's just learned he's going to die young-and soon. But he refuses to leave his family with less than nothing-especially now that he has nothing to lose. Over a couple of beers with his best friends, John and Sherm, Tommy launches a bold scheme to provide for his family's future. And though his plan will spin shockingly out of control, it will throw him together with a child whose touch can heal-and whose ultimate lesson is that there are far worse things than dying. If you've read the novel and think you know the story of Tommy, Sherm, and Benjy, and the rest, think again. While faithful to the novel, the play delivers more twists and turns and adds new layers of depth to Tommy's struggle to survive-and its ultimate aftermath.

Notes:
written with Cynthia Booth. First Runner-Up winner at the 64th Annual ACCT Delaware One-Act Festival held in Middletown, Del. on March 11 2006
Synopsis:
Mr. Donald Howard Becton III, the successful globe-trotting businessman and millionaire, is deader than a pair of socks. And he is presently on display for the world to see at the Olson-Hines Funeral Home. His wife, the educated and well-pedigreed Eileen, visits, and puts on a good show to get that nervous, rat terrier of a junior funeral hall director in training, Mr. Hines, to leave her alone with the corpse. Unfortunately, Eileen has a problem. No, not the pyromaniac daughter nor the bedwetting son; no, no one can find Becton's will, not even his golf-obsessed lawyer knows where it is. Perhaps clues to the dilemma can be found on the corpse? But, before a proper search can be made, Veronica shows up, a gaudily painted, silicone enhanced "lady" who also claims to be Becton's wife. Let's just say that that is not what Eileen expected. The two immediately despise each other and eventually go at it to hilarious means, leaving behind a very perplexed Mr. Hines (and one very battered corpse' at play's end.
