Monsters in Our Blood
A young girl’s growing up. A mother uncertain what to make of her curious daughter. A pastor who thinks he’s doing the right thing. Four forgotten goddesses. When the seven meet in an idyllic American town, a remembering occurs that will forever alter each of their lives. Presented in ten chronological vignettes, Monsters in Our Blood explores what it means to be woman in a world designed for men.

Sadie
At the turn of the century, Sena “Sadie” Roberg was disappeared by her own family in small town Nebraska. Their descendants were told the same story: Sena boarded a bus to the city to get her goiter removed, and simply never returned. This was, of course, a lie.
Over a century later, Sena’s great-great-niece, Austen, is completing her doctoral program, and her studies bring her to the truth: Sena was simply too much, too loud, too ambitious, too independent for the Edwardian Midwest. And Sena’s story rings very close to home for Austen.
Via interwoven and overlapping story, Sadie is a confrontation of just how little (or how much) humanity has changed.

Manic Pixie Dream Goes to Brunch
Manic Pixie Dream Girl, Seductress, GBF, and Gamer Boy have been best friends since high school. They’ve stayed in their niches, in character, for as long as they can remember. When Manic Pixie Dream Girl breaks archetype and falls for a jock, their world implodes. It may be for the better. A short play designed for Zoom formatting, Manic Pixie Dream Girl… addresses the harm and insanity of media archetypes and why they must be turned on their heads.
Winner, Susan J. Westfall Short Play Contest 2024
