"A society that has sacrificed so much to material wealth 
that it has forgotten  the human heart and the better human aspirations 
degenerates into something compassionless, doctrinaire, ignorant, and ultra-conservative.  
When this happens, fundamental solutions to calamities become impossible.  
If we protect the truth and are resolute, we are capable of creating peace and prosperity.  
And the truth we must protect ought to be high and great.  
Our great truth-the thing that we must protect to the utmost-involves ethics and the best of human nature.  
But more basic than anything else is our duty to guard the truth of life, 
the truth that we and the universe are one,
and that a single ordinary human thought contains the entirety of universal life."  -Daisaku Ikeda

Features
Two Spirited (In Development)
On a quest to move on after a failed marriage, Gotham Voice journalist MAGGIE HUYLER finds herself drawn to unresolved questions about her husband and the mysterious community surrounding his double life.  While at a party, MAGGIE is introduced to GEORGIA, a stunning woman in her forties who is actually DARREN DELBY, a world-renowned motivational speaking guru (of the Tony Robbins mold) . Unbeknownst to MAGGIE, DARREN suddenly finds himself in the middle of an extortion plot threatening to destroy him through exposing his female alter ego.  
Shortly after learning that GEORGIA is not a biological woman, MAGGIE becomes intrigued with the Male-Female gender, delving into what is commonly referred to as Two Spirited culture and posing the question, “If one is born with two spirits, what happens when their spirits are in conflict?”  
Thus in a world, where gender bending is still taboo, DARREN must decide whether to risk his multi-million dollar empire for the sake of being true to who he really is…Two Spirited evokes one man’s ultimate struggle as he tries to come to terms with giving up his public image for the female identity that he’s always known.

My Life as a Bald Soprano is a play with music tracking the tumultuous journey of a young girl (GRETCHEN) desperately wanting to fit in; despite a physical hair-loss condition rendering her appearance “different”.  In turn, she is forced to revisit her roots (literally) on a musical quest that introduces her to the grandmother she never knew and the musical passion that she was born to pursue! My Life as a Bald Soprano is the ultimate feel good musical showing that we can overcome life’s greatest obstacles when we listen to the indomitable spirit within.
