OCHE (full length)
Line has three things: a sister living on their couch, a weekly phone call with a convicted killer, and intrusive thoughts. Pythia has two things: a copy of Oliver Twist, and a psychic gift. Madeline has one thing: unwanted divine intervention. As they converge and diverge, Line must navigate painful instincts that suddenly have cosmic support from every angle.

QUIET GRAMMA (one act)
