“Lowell’s script juggles sharp, unusually literate dialogue with penetrating, nuanced psychological portraits that eschew campy stereotypes.” – Paul Birchall, L.A. Weekly

“It’s an intense, eloquent exploration of self-understanding, devotion, infidelity, coming to terms with mortality and — above all — the abiding love of a committed relationship. The poignant, satisfying conclusion is reached through mature and realistic discussion.” – Douglas J. Keating, Philadelphia Inquirer

Produced by the Celebration Theatre, October 2003, The Walnut Street Theatre, February 1997, and the Eureka Theatre, October 1995.

Danny, a funny, sharp, self-reliant, very sexy street hustler, challenges Marc’s ordered existence. Marc, a careful, reticent man, is drawn to Danny’s sexual and spiritual power. They flirt and spar, vying for acceptance of each other. As they reach mutual trust, and Marc offers Danny shelter in his apartment, their journey has only just begun.

“Lowell offers some yummy brain candy here in a poignant, illuminating script that asks questions yet doesn’t mind not providing all the answers. Lowell’s words — fun, fresh — also capture the universality of relationships and the co-dependency that often sprouts from well-watered neurotic soil.” – Greg Archer, Good Times Weekly, Santa Cruz, California

“The emotional complexities of the plot are explosive, and the play moves through these with care and poignancy, exploring the men’s individual motivations and the intricacies of their relationship with fine balance.” – Ann Bennett, Santa Cruz Sentinel, California

“His dialogue between the actors is so believable and realistic that you leave the theater wondering which character really has a fear of intimacy.” – Steve Moore, Style Weekly, Richmond, Virginia

Produced by Shamlessboyz Productions (London), and by S.E.E. Theatre (Santa Cruz) in February 2006. Produced by the Richmond Triangle Players in September 2001.

A musical holiday tale for all seasons. Imagine that a great Broadway diva — someone like, say, Carol C. — enacted the timeless, deathless story of Scrooge and Christmas and redemption. Imagine that Scrooge’s (Carol’s) nephew resembled a famous Broadway composer named Jerry H., that her Bob Cratchit bore some connection to a diminutive former Cabaret star named Joel G. (whose charge is none other than that lovable moppet, Tiny Liza (with a “Z”)), and so on. Imagine our heroine is visited by ghosts of Broadway past, including a King named Yul, and one or two spare Dollys. And thereby hangs a funny, rude, irreverent musical tale!

       One-Act: 1 hr. 20 min. – flexible sets

       8 cast minimum, flexible as to sex and orientation of cast
