Tyler Ash is a man who has lost his way. A war veteran, who gave his arm in the service of his country, now suffers from nightmares and depression, finding solace in drinking and sparring with his cyber, Charlie. His life changes when Model Industries, a Cyber-tech company creates the TRC One, almost exact in every way to a human. He decides, with the help of Jen, a Model Industries’ technician, to create the perfect wife Anna. But 2100AD is a troubled time, and the lines have become blurred as to what is human and what is not. Rogue Cybers break into Model industries and steal a prototype of the TRC Two, with the purpose of training it to be a weapon. Teresa, the Model Industries’ CEO, has a secret agenda.
Tyler accidently kills Anna when he discovers that she was unfaithful, and his trial and acquittal create two camps, one that feels that cybers are just machines and those that believe that Cybers deserve rights, and rioting commences.

Based on real events and characters, Grynszpan/Thompson is the explosive World War II story of two dynamic, intersecting figures: the teenage Jewish assassin who triggers the tragedy of Kristallnacht and the female American news commentator who alerts the world about the rising menace of fascism.
Herschel Grynszpan, a bright but tempestuous boy in exile in Paris, reacts to the brutal expulsion of his family from Germany in 1938 by killing a Nazi official. His case gains international recognition and is championed by Dorothy Thompson, a denizen of New York City high society who’s known as the second most influential woman in the country. Grynszpan/Thompson dramatizes the distinct but intersecting paths of these vastly different individuals as they struggle against Nazism.

Originally written as a musical, the script basically follows the story line of the parable Christ tells about the prodigal son. The script handles the timelessness of the story ... for families around the world and throughout history. It is the story of the father's heart for his children and the great love (challenged as it may be at times) between parent and child. This is the ultimate love story with all the longing, angst and pain of separation found in every great love story. The music is heartbreakingly beautiful and the humor in the script allows the audience to hurt with the characters. It is my hope that the script will not be separated from the music.

In 1942 a Southern man by the name of Clarence Jordan, an agriculturist and biblical scholar, could not understand the division between black and white churches. He started a commune in Americas, Georgia, where blacks and whites would live, work and worship together. A mentor to Martin Luther King, Clarence ran into extreme opposition - but bullets, dynamite, nor the KKK would stop his journey. As the years went on, the farm went from a successful multi-family operation to a battered struggle to survive for the few remaining occupants. In the face of failure, a business man named Millard Fuller, in search of reconciliation with God, showed up and picked up where Clarence had fallen. Under the personal counseling of Jordan, Millard breathed new life into the farm, fulfilling Clarence's life long dream of building a better world. This is the true story of the birth of Habitat For Humanity.
