2 ACT PLAYS
AMOUR AMERICAIN
DRAMA (R rated)
My take on “Cyrano de Bergerac”, but
now it is a female, Siriana D. Bergmann. Set in NYC in 1996, but touches M.
Rostand’s great scenes…and emotions
FRENZY WITCHCRAFT
DRAMA (X rated)
Possibly my masterpiece, but it is
about some very adult subjects. I was told I couldn’t write a villain. They
were wrong. Greek tragedy in modern times.
SAILS ON THE MOUNTAIN
DRAMA (G rated)
I was born in Johnstown, Pennsylvania,
where there was a flood you might have heard about, in 1889. Not just my family’s story, but a
truly relevant story of corporate greed and carelessness, which has more than a
little resonance today.

BACKING INTO HOBOKEN
COMEDY (G rated)
An all female cast of 7. The NYC
theater “A Woman’s Place” is desperate for money and invites the Montclair, NJ
organization The Elizabeth Barrett Browing Center for the Performing Arts to
come see a show down in the Village. My attempt to mix the contemporary with
door-banging farce.
REDEMPTION
DRAMA (PG rated)
My second best play, again because I
was challenged by New York writers. They told me that a Christian man could not
be a hero. That is stereotyping. So I made him Southern and a cop. Valjean
Roland has to prove to his wife and the audience that there are some good
people out there who do believe in Jesus. You might recognize Riza from “Frenzy
Witchcraft”. I am very proud of this play.
TOUJOURS SEULE
DRAMA (PG rated)
A bit self-indulgent, this is a play
about the insanity when I was 42 and still attractive to men and realizing that
I might not ever find the right one. The artist I found in the mountains of
Quebec was a compelling tragedy as were the two American men who touched my
life at that time. And yet, I did it once more two years ago on a different mountaintop.
Sometimes, you have to refresh the lesson.
TUTORIAL
COMEDY (R rated)
Controversial in that there is sex in
it between a 16-year-old boy and a 21-year-old girl. That he is white and she
black turns out not to be the problem, but the age difference is. A one act
play with a 9 year break in it. But it is a simple, refreshing little comedy…I
think.
