SNOWBALL is a quirky comedy about a middle-aged couple whose recently deceased cat is reincarnated as a young woman. Unfortunately, she still has the habits and characteristics of a cat. They try their best to teach her how to behave like a human being, but without much luck. She winds up turning their lives upside down, which in the end is just what they needed to save their marriage.

My play is loosely adapted from the 1941 fantasy comedy "Here Comes Mr. Jordan," the story of a prize fighter who is mistakenly brought to heaven before his time on Earth is complete. He is sent back in the body of a millionaire who's just been murdered. The problem is he's still the same person he was in his previous life on the inside.
