REGRETS: A play in 3 Acts

REGRETS is an unconventional comedy-drama in that it begins as a comedy and progresses into a drama, unlike most comedy-dramas where comedy is blended in with drama.  The play focuses on the struggle all of us have when we find ourselves at a fork in the road of life.  Some take a path and never look back, regardless of the outcome.  Some start down a path, change their minds, and decide to take the other route.  And others take a path and are filled with regrets.  Marty, a gay man in his thirties, takes the path that leads to regrets-not only for him but those of his family. 

REGRETS takes place around Thanksgiving over a period of years at Marty's condominium in San Francisco.  It is a play that explores the depths of one's feelings that are often hidden from friends and family.  It is sure to provoke a wide range of feelings and will take the audience on a journey of laughter and tears.

Act One introduces a playful Marty laughing with his best friend as they prepare for Thanksgiving dinner with his zany mother and inattentive father.  In Act Two, Marty realizes that he isn't going to meet anyone, won't have the family he always dreamed of, and can no longer count on his family or friends.  At the end of the act he kills himself.  During Act Three, Marty's family and friends are visited by his spirit who tells them why he committed suicide.  He also tells his best friend, Nancy, that he left her a gift, ending the play with surprising results.
