Clayton James is fourteen, a high school freshman who spent middle school in Covid lockdown. Divorced parents, few friends, digs dragons, a real dork. Then one day, out of nowhere, Clayton becomes a hero. As he navigates a maze of pandemic isolation, political division, and the ever-present threat of gun violence, Clayton searches for his own identity and his place in the world. This is a solo play with a cast the size of the audience, where a middle-aged man plays a teenager. Seriously, just go with it.
Plays include “After Before” (HOT Fest 2025), “Dick Pix”, “Perfect Teeth”, “Rapture 2K”, “The Basement”, and “Cleave.” Longtime member and alum of the New York Neo-Futurists with hundreds of plays featured in “The Infinite Wrench” and “Too Much Light Makes the Baby Go Blind” as well as full-lengh shows “The Great American Drama”, “Mute” and “(un)afraid.” Co-creator and performer in “Whiskey Flicks Live!” with Michael Niederman, performing since 2019 in New York and across the North American Fringe Festival circuit. MFA in Playwriting from Hunter College.
