Plays and Published Works:

Pocket Rocket (Lea Daniel and Gary Kirkham): Street hockey buddies, 3 boys and a girl, gather for a game. It's 1967, the Centennial, the last year of the NHL's original six, and "the summer of love". Things change when a new kid, recently immigrated from Pakistan, wants to join the game. The play follows the 5 friends over the next 28 years in a quintessentially Canadian journey.

Naked: Aging siblings reconnect when a sister falls ill. Each is intent on inheriting the family home.. It is a comedy that is being produced by Lost and Found Theatre at the Conrad Centre from October 9-12, 2013. An excerpt from the Lost and Found Theatre's site: "Meet Michael and Maggie, two very different siblings thrown together in a comic battle for control when they unexpectedly become caregivers to an ailing sister. Join them as they learn about themselves, and each other in this exploration of family."

Heretic: A love story played out against a backdrop of violence, power and fanaticism, not unlike our 21st century world. It is inspired by a woman who lived a passionate, dangerous and independent life as revealed in 14th century Inquisition records. It is a full-length, four character play in two acts.

Colour Me Fuschia:  Dramatizes an imaginary meeting between Emily Carr and the late painter, Lynn Donoghue. Two strong, vibrant women explore choices dictated by their creativity and gender. A one-act, two-hander.
