• Sorry! Wrong Chimney!  Comedy/3f 4m/Interior set/Co-written with the late Jack Sharkey

David Tuttle is moonlighting as a department store Santa so that he can  buy his wife a fur for Christmas. He tells her he’s working late at the  office, but she finds out he isn’t at the office. A suspected other  woman, hypnotism, the notorious Santa burglar Kris Kreigle and his  gun-toting fiancée, and a confused policeman add up to a rollicking tale  that is hilarious Christmas entertainment any time of year.

• Borderline Crazies - Comedy/3m,3f/Interior Set

 Ellen hopes to ski and put some spark into her dull marriage to Stu, an  efficiency author, while at Lake Tahoe in a rustic cabin owned by Stu's  publisher. They are startled when a horror author and his sexy wife also  arrive at the apparently double-booked cabin. The women immediately  bond but the men squabble like spoiled two-year-olds and devise several  wagers to determine who stays and who goes. Before anyone can leave, a  police officer reports that a snowstorm has closed the roads and an axe  murderer is on the loose. Stranded with no phone, no television and no  radio, the writers may kill each other before the murderer gets to them.  It's an avalanche of laughter with more twists and turns than a giant  slalom. 

This play has been produced across the US and Canada.

• 100 Lunches - Comedy/3f. 3m/Multiple interior sets - Co-wriiten with the late Jack Sharkey

 Successful mystery playwright Chuck Reynolds has had his plays lauded by  all critics except Charity Starr. When she shows up at his home and has  the unmitigated gall to ask his expert help in writing a play of her  own, Chuck fiendishly insists that their teacher/pupil sessions be held  over lunch with Charity footing the bill at the most expensive  restaurants in New York City. Lunatic waiters provide a uniquely  hilarious touch to these meetings. Love blossoms despite the scheming of  Chuck's amorous neighbor. Charity's play opens on Broadway and she  finds out what it's like to be a target for all her critical confreres.  Non stop fun, romance, and explosive hilarity make this an ideal show  for the entire family.  

This play has been produced across the US and Canada.

• Star on the Door - Comedy/4m, 2f/Interior set - Co-written with the late Jack Sharkey

 Cinema legend Doreen Lewis, nervously about to make her Broadway debut  opposite her ardent admirer Paul Burnside, intercepts a phone call for  her dresser who is secretly wed to Doreen's son confirming that "Mrs.  Lewis" is pregnant. A loony resolution caps this evening of non stop  guffaws. 

This play has been produced across the US and Canada.
