Playwright

I am the author of a number of full-length plays, including Murder in the Nth Degree, Will Power, The (S)witch, A Murder in West Egg, and, most recently, an adaptation of Sophocles' Antigone, which brings the action to the modern world.

My play 'Ainakea is an adaptation of Anton Chekhov's The Cherry Orchard and moves the action to the island of Maui in the early 1950s. The play will have its world premiere in October 2026 at the Historic 'Iao Theater in Wailuku, Hawaii.

Tickets for 'Ainakea are on sale at https://mauionstage.thundertix.com/events/257453

Antigone, for which I have also written an original score, will have a staged reading at ProArts Playhouse, Kihei, Maui, on Thursday, May 21, at 7:30pm.
