My short play, NOT EXACTLY JOHN WAYNE (A Black Comedy, with Gunslingers), is out now in the Summer 2023 issue of The Coachella Review!
14 year-old bookworm Tara Lee loves a good story, and has no interest in learning to wield a firearm. Her pragmatic, protective father, Gunther, however, is determined to teach her how to shoot a gun. To engage her interest, he spins a mythic tale of the old Wild West, complete with gunslingers and desperados. But when fiction begins to infringe on reality, the shooting lesson veers wildly off track.
