the negotiable apology

A new one-act play of mine, The Negotiable Apology, directed by Tamara Alexander will be having its premiere at the Brewster Theater Company’s 2021 Playwright Festival over the weekend of September 24-26. And yes, this falls squarely into yet another Miserable Love Story.

Seating is limited for all three shows and tickets are going fast. Here’s info on how to get tickets.

MARGOT

For what?

DANNY

MARGOT

Try me.  I have an awesome memory.
