More Information

“Teenage Subterfuge” is about Meg, a single mother, who tries to connect to her very sarcastic daughter, Molly. It is intense, humorous and a little weird.  It touches on alcoholism, eating disorders, trust and communication. One actor plays all the male roles including the ex-husband, the teenage boyfriend, a liquor store clerk and a therapist in rehab.

Writing the play:

The piece started with my kid’s voice. My child is sharp tongued, smart and funny.  I took their voice and created a character struggling with problems they have been touched by but never known personally. Next, I wrote that character a mother who could be played by my wife - an actress who can strongly emote on stage. She couldn’t take the part because of conflicts. I channeled the experiences of friends and family to create the conflicts.

Finding a director:

I approached Jesse Richards, an old work friend, to direct. He was instrumental in improving the script – I couldn’t have driven the character arcs, sharpened the dialogue or been as honest without him.

The Cast:

Meg – Christine DeZelar-Tiedman

Molly – Lily Jones

All the male characters – Steve Cox
