Plays
What is there in the darkness of a box that may reveal one’s deepest hopes and nightmares? A game of cat-and-mouse that is a compelling page turner for the stage! A self-effacing medical student, aspiring for affirmation in all the wrong places, finds herself working for a man of great reputation and personal power who challenges, excites, and stimulates in her visions of enduring happiness.
“A taut exercise in psychological manipulation that is one of those rarities in the contemporary theater - a classically crafted play with well-delineated characters and a satisfyingly linear plot.”
Jule’s play Boxes has its East Coast premiere in the Fall 2019 at the Good Theater in Portland Maine, directed by Stephen Underwood.

Other plays include her one-acts, The Wedding (Actors Theatre of Louisville One Act Festival, 1988), Leave It Open (Maine Playwrights Festival 2021), Two Not So Tall Women (Interact Theatre, 1994), Miss Julie (ALAP Pride Play Festival Workshop (2019), Maine Playwrights Festival semi-finalist 2021), full length plays: Isolate (Westbeth Theatre, Theatre 6470, recipient of the Best New Play Award from Los Angeles Women in Theatre in 1992), No Stranger (Annenberg Playhouse), Boiling Point (New York No Smoking Playhouse), Dr. Fedder (Actors Theatre of Louisville Children’s Theatre Tour).
