SKETCHING THE SOUL - An artist struggling with the conflict between her growing celebrity
and her Amish upbringing, which she left behind to pursue her ambition, and which she neglected to mention to her boyfriend,
new friends and colleagues. The past and present, celebrity and spiritually come to a head one frenetic weekend when her younger
sister Sarah arrives unexpectedly. An aggressive journalist also arrives with a photographer for an interview for a
chaotic and very un-Amish like encounter. This formerly-Amish artist must now learn to accept and acknowledge
the power of her Amish heritage and to move toward a future she had not expected. Available from Dramatic Publishing.
DELUSIONS OF GRANDEUR, 4m,4w. Comedy. As
graduation day approaches, a high school senior whose cheerfully nutty parents insist they want him out of the house when
he gets his diploma, must cope with racing the clock to set up his future plans. Add one sister who lives in a world of her
own imagination set somewhere in the 18th century, and a school bully out to play a practical joke on her, and you have a
young man going to pieces as he tries to juggle three part-time jobs, a scholarship in the balance, a sister who thinks "Pride
and Prejudice" is current events, and the girl next door who might not be as bad as she seems. Published by Eldridge Plays & Musicals.
