Every Little Nookie
Playing now: world premiere at the Stratford Festival! WE DARE YOU TO TRY IT – THE PLAY, THAT IS. When a suburban boomer couple return home to find their queer millennial daughter, Annabel, hosting a swingers’ party to make cash, they’re forced to question the state of their marriage. Annabel, in turn, must ponder her own future when she adds a new relationship to her chosen family of polyamorous and platonic roommates. In this high-spirited sex romp, it’s not just the earth that moves, as shifting paradigms encourage new possibilities, both personal and political.

Men Express Their Feelings
A comedy about hockey, culture and relationships. Two dads and their sons are sequestered to a hockey rink dressing room to sort out an incident.

MEN EXPRESS THEIR FEELINGS premiered in Calgary in 2020 with Downstage, with the generous support of Hit & Myth Productions, then had a Vancouer production in 2022 with Zee Zee Theatre. It is now a 3 episode audio drama - listen below!
