STAGE PLAYS
DOTTED LINE
A successful independent artist finally meets the record executive who can take her career to the next level—global fame. But as the meeting unfolds, she begins to suspect the powerful woman across the desk isn’t entirely human. In fact, she’s a reptilian. Fame comes with a price—and this deal might cost her soul.
SOUP KITCHEN
Inside a soup kitchen on a cold holiday in Hollywood, a down-on-his-luck man with a big heart and his smooth-talking womanizer friend sit beside a woman on the edge of giving up. Over a simple free meal, they share something that changes how they see the city—and themselves.
This is a story about kindness found in an unlikely place, Soup Kitchen reminds us that even when you have nothing, you can still give something that matters. Hope doesn’t always arrive in grand gestures—sometimes it’s a shared laugh, a warm meal, and the courage to care.
2020 PROTEST
In 2020, the world erupts in outrage over the murder of George Floyd, and three men from three generations are pulled into the chaos. In the streets of Atlanta, their paths collide — each driven by his own fire. Abdul wants justice. Mack sees revolution as the only answer. And Uncle Ern? He just wants to stay out of it.
Together, they stand at the crossroads of history — where anger meets wisdom, and survival clashes with the fight for change. Three men. One protest. A nation’s pain — and the statement that won’t fade: BLACK LIVES MATTER!
THE SHOWER LINE
At San Quentin State Prison, one man struggles to get a clean shower. Then he learns the only way the shower will be cleaned is if he stabs somebody.

SHORT STORIES
CAUGHT UP
“Have you ever been stung by a bee?”
The delusionary state of duality – this state is pure mental corruption and its self-imposed psychological double vision at its best. Victims of duality don’t even know of their abusive mental condition because the mind has tricks being played on them. Illusions cause the real to appear unreal and the unreal to seem real. —Dallas Brooks
Horace met the rich and beautiful, bipolar, and schizophrenic love of his life. Little did he know, his life would never be the same again. He was about to be stung by a bee.
BETWEEN THE 3
Tonya is in a lust triangle with two women. But lust doesn’t play fair, and a committed relationship is boring—passion is the hottest when it’s BETWEEN THE THREE.
CHOCOLATE CITY
Robert was simping hard for an exotic dancer—until she crossed the line in front of everybody. In that moment, he remembered who he was, and made damn sure she did, too.
CAUGHT IN THE LIFE
A “business trip” to Las Vegas turns into a wild spiral of drugs, porn conventions, and betrayal. When Marla’s double life catches up to her, Robert’s fantasy erupts into violence and chaos. Now he’s forced to face the truth.
Caught between sin and redemption, the fantasy he’s been living is the very thing destroying his life. Broken, beaten, and out of options, he crawls back to the woman he left behind, hoping it’s not too late to make things right.
