Man With Wings

In 1971, a small-town sheriff bears witness to a tragic and inexplicable event. Forty years later, a free-lance writer and investigator of unexplained phenomena arrives at the sheriff’s run-down apartment, desperate to learn the truth behind the so-called “Thunderbird Incident.” But the answer the sheriff offers may not be what the writer hoped for; the truth may be worse by far.

Ant Farm


Ant Farm is a darkly comic play about a handful of small town survivors of a mysterious cataclysm who are holed up in a bomb shelter under a gun store. The quirky cast includes the gun store owner, his mute 15 year old granddaughter, the elderly waitress from the diner next door, the guy who runs the bookstore on the other side of the gun shop, and one of the bookstore's customers. Together this small group wrestles with what, if anything, it might mean to be the last people left on Earth.
