My one-act play “Positive” was produced in California by the Actors’ Theatre of Santa Cruz, in the Young Playwright’s Festival. Then the play was published in "Kiss or Kill: Contact Scenes of Love and Strife for Young Actors", by Wilma Marcus Chandler and Steve Ramshur. June 2009. This is an acting book for young actors and students, providing them with a variety of plays from different backgrounds and writers, to exemplify differing styles. I was honored to be one of those writers thanks to Wilma Marcus Chandler. She saw the production of my play in Santa Cruz, California and contacted me afterwards asking if the play could be part of her book.
