31 Plays in 31 Days, #5 - “Park Moms”

I’ve been having fun doing episodes of Dream Machine, my idea for a sitcom about the crew of a tiny women’s cable network. I write them in screenplay form, then some lovely actor friends perform a staged reading over Zoom, which I record and edit. It’s been a nice change of pace, and gives me something to look forward to producing during social distancing. We just released the third episode if you want to check it out.

This scene will be the cold open of a future installment, possibly even the next one, episode four. It is loosely based on something that happened to me when I was running in the park recently. Even as I was going through it, I thought it was definitely adaptable into something that would happen to Leah. It was an amusing reminder that, as much as Leah is all of my negative qualities cranked up to eleven, the characterization definitely comes from somewhere real.
