This book contains ten years of plays worked on solely by members of the Playhouse West Repertory Theater Group.The Performance of Heartbreak, An Epilogue, and Day in Life were all written during a very specific time for me. A string of life-changing events had gotten me to a place, creatively speaking, that I had never been before. As a writer and human being, I wasn’t happy. What started as an exercise in therapy turned out to be some of my favorite work, and consequently ended up being what brought me back to the theater where my playwriting started.
This collection represents ten years of hard work done by a very specific group of dedicated, fervently working theater junkies.
Most of the plays in this book have been produced and performed in one way or another, the ones that have not, probably never should be.
