Video of my piece "Hit The Road Jack". I have multiple variations of it (because an artist is never satisfied with a final piece) but I like the evolution of it thus far.

What could possibly go wrong when a carefree, peace-loving, nonconformist meets an uptight, super-hot hockey player driven to win?

A love story, of course!

Wolseley Douglas has it all. A successful restaurant, amazing friends, and a tight-knit family. But she’s unlucky at love. She’s kissed a lot of frogs, but still hasn’t met her prince.

Life is mostly good.

But her world is turned upside down when her sous chef does something unconscionable. Not only does she lose her restaurant, but she loses her credibility too. Everything she’s built is gone in an instant.

Back to the drawing board.

Brandon Warde is a brooding mystery. Behind his drive to succeed at the game he loves is family baggage he’s kept a guarded secret and securely compartmentalized. The world has only seen the hockey player who leaves it all on the ice. Slackers need not apply.

He also sees an opportunity when one is presented to him.

A man needs to eat, and Wolseley makes the best food he has ever tasted. Why not hire her as a personal chef? What better way to stay in top shape?

Wolseley and Brandon couldn’t be any different. But when quirky and boho-cute Wolseley chips away at Brandon’s crusty, reserved exterior, what they find together is the last thing they ever expected.

The Sweet Spot

The Sweet Spot, now at the postage stamp-sized Theatre C at 59E59, is an earnest play. Alice Jankel takes us into that moment when life changes for a well-married couple. The thing they have been considering for “Some Day” is now upon them. Move into a retirement community while they still have a spring in their step or wait until it is too late to do anything else. Jerry (Joel Leffert) and Vita (Nancy Nichols) live in the same apartment where they moved after they were first married. They raised their children there and welcomed grandchildren. Now, one of their grandchildren is having a baby, and the two of them are becoming great-grandparents. We meet them on the morning they are expecting THE CALL which will come in on their landline for some reason – they both have mobile phones – on which they do not have call waiting (is that even possible?). While waiting for THE CALL Vita gets another from the manager of a retirement community – The Dolce Vita – who has called with the news that a two-bedroom unit has just opened up, and they are at the top of the list.Vita is against it and Jerry FOR. Vita does not want to be old. Jerry says they already are. Jankell raises critical points that people of a certain age start to feel, whether they admit it or not. People out there making decisions are all younger – I call them “the smooth people.” Politicians, writers, artists. Everyone is younger – and what the hell do you do about that? In this play, however, there is little or no action. As in we never see the tipping point for Vita. We never see them packing up the things – deciding what has to go and what will travel with. I still remember cataloging my mother’s house with my sister so that all the siblings could have a look at the list and ask for what they wanted. My mother was home that day, and with every other item we listed on our spreadsheet Mumma had a story. Who gave her that piece and when and then a memory to go with it. Not much of that going on here, with the exception of a tiny ceramic pot. I think, however, that the packing up could have been the central event to which we all would have liked to be privy. We do get a few glimpses of their younger selves in the form of Nancy Nichols and Gabriel Tysdahl, who play Vita and Jerry. These forays have their charm but don’t do much to move the plot along. As Vita says, “It’s about leaving the prime of our lives. Leaving our ‘time’, leaving our ‘turn’. It’s saying, ‘Our turn here is done. It’s somebody else’s turn to lead, to innovate, to trend-set.” Minutes later, she changed her mind. We don’t see the change happening to her, and we never see the resolution of that. How do they plan to start over as a team? How will they make it work?We never see them entering that next chapter – and there are a lot of us out here who would like a bit of guidance on that subject. Here, however, the characters never quite connect. Perhaps it was the preview jitters, but I never believed these two were married. Page Clements' direction does little to glue the pieces together. As it is, the story ends much as it began: two old lovers nattering at one another. Not much to see there.
