A View from the Window – a retelling of the prodigal son in a modern-day setting which illustrates the passion and commitment of the Father’s love.

Beneath the Light – this is an allegory and has a theme of redeeming love. A life-and-death struggle between the messianic figure and the satanic figure demonstrates Jesus’s willingness to sacrifice himself for those He loves. A young woman who had a violent and unstable childhood finds herself in the “world’s oldest profession.” How she responds to these two men’s clash of values determines her future.

Freedom for O’Ryan – a young man who thinks he is in charge of his life finds out that his life is in charge of him. His new, next-door neighbor teaches him that true freedom does not come from vanities of the world’s offerings.

Keeping Mama – the matriarch to a large, affluent family has died.  Dysfunctionality of the family is shown up in their greed, insecurities, and lack of caring for anything beyond themselves.  Through twists and turns, redemption and justice are demonstrated.

Peeple’s Café – Peeple’s Café is a microcosm of society that shows the struggles, heartache, and sin of people.  The plot transports the café’s patrons from an existence of despair and even death to a life of grace and redemption.
