Dos Coyotes
A romantic comedy with two characters, two acts, and one border.  Carlos is a Mexican professor of philosophy whose attempt to bring his neighbors north to the land of opportunity ended tragically. Piper is an ambitious and idealistic young woman from that land of opportunity who’s very disenchanted with the culture that supplies her privileges.  Meet cute in a dumpster, add desert.

Debut in New Orleans, 2019.  (Press coverage included a studio interview with host Diane Mack at NPR affiliate station, WWNO.)

Devil in a Pink Slip
Lucifer (currently identifying as female) has been doing a bang-up job down on planet earth; so good, in fact, that the boss’ son (the Prince of Peace) has come down with news of a reassignment.

One act, twenty minutes. Readings and development in NYC and New Orleans. (Not yet staged)

Kurt is a Dramatist Guild member since 2015.
