Notes From The Playwright
Secrets of abuse, buried for decades, are ripped to the surface and the truth leaves the family forever changed. After walking out on his fianceé and his family 18 years ago for reasons unknown, Donald returns home on the afternoon of his father's funeral, but why he's returned is not what it seems to be. SILVER DOLLAR has been described as an “incredibly uncomfortable drama…with substance and layers.”

I hope that you leave this show transformed in some small way, that you have more questions than answers and that you give great thought to what might happen if the truths you once held to be sacred were shattered before your eyes.

Thank you to the many actors and friends that read the early drafts of SILVER DOLLAR and challenged me to dig deeper so I could discover each character’s true voice and clarify their journey. I appreciate you all so very much.

Thank you FEARLESS PRODUCTIONS for the amazing support and generosity throughout this production. I am humbled and honored to be connected with such a passionate and dedicated group of artists. www.fearlessprod.com
