BLACKOUT
High-concept period piece/musical
[Collaboration with composer Aaron McAllister]
status: first draft in-progress
In New York City, in the summer of 1977, amidst decay and decline in a busted and burning city brimming with drugs, violence, swingers and disco, the lights went out. This is one July night that will change a place…and everyone it touches. |

Excerpt
from Blackout:
CORA
It’s been a long damn time. You look like shit. Like a street roach.
RODERICK
I am one. I get into a shelter some nights. Or a church mission. Never know.
CORA
A shelter? Damn, Uncle Rod. Like for homeless?
RODERICK
Like that. Yeah.
Awkward pause.
CORA
You hungry?
RODERICK
Yeah.
CORA reaches into her pocket and brings out Twinkies.
