ASHES TO ASHES
Written by Debbie Bolsky
Directed by Katherine James
A madcap romantic comedy that’s perfect for the holidays! This fun, romantic comedy is about ex-couple liberal Sara and right-winger Jefferson, who are polar opposites about everything — except their love and devotion for their two, newly deceased, filthy-rich best friends. Trapped by the time-constraints of their friends' will, the two are forced to spend the next 16 days, 21 hours, and 32 minutes together, scattering ashes across Europe. Whether they make it or not, the audience is in for a bumpy and funny ride.
If you’re in the Los Angeles area, we invite you to please come and enjoy.

THE GIN GAME
Alan and I will be reading a new staged reading, so please join us for this month's Off The Page performance with The Gin Game, presented by the Sierra Madre Playhouse.
The Gin Game
Written by D.L. Coburn and Directed by Christian Lebano
Monday, September 18, 2017, 7:00 PM
Weller Martin tries desperately to retain some control over his life despite falling into ill health and becoming a reluctant resident of a nursing home. Fonsia Dorsey serves as the symbol of all gone wrong, and his battles with her, though over a simple game of gin, become not only a conflict with the woman but with divine will itself.

ZERO-SIX-TWO-EIGHT
This year's 2017 Female Playwrights ONSTAGE Festival will be a HOT MESS!
Join me for a reading of my newest play "Zero-Six-Two-Eight" on May 21, 2017. This is a monologue based on the work I did in 2016 with a man named Paul for ACT of Communication.
"Every once in a while I meet someone who simply bowls me over with the terror of waking up to that person’s face being the one that greets me in the mirror when I wake up from a pleasant dream.
That the horror of that person’s life is suddenly my own.
Paul was one of those people."
For some extra excitement, read more on the guest blog I was featured on.
And...don't forget to check back frequently for updates!
