December News: Upcoming Production and Publishing!

Marisa's play SAMANTHA INSIDE OUT will receive its world premiere production at NJ Repertory Company this coming February! Tickets available soon at www.njrep.org.

Samantha, a woman of a certain age has had it—with her life, her marriage, modern life, everything. She’s a high school English teacher, mother of grown twins and wife of Eliot, a cruel, pompous philanderer. After a humiliating and violent encounter with her husband, Samantha flees a stultifying Christmas party at the President of the College’s house. She ends up in the host’s teenage daughter’s cluttered room on the third floor. Amid the chaos Samantha reviews the wreckage of her life and reveals her truth and her secrets out loud. By doing so Samantha charts a new course for herself. It’s never too late to start again.

AND... Marisa's THE GIFT OF THE MAGI, A Modern Adaptation of the the O’Henry story, will be published by Broadway Play Publishers in January of 2026.

Broadway Play Publishers also publishes Marisa’s play MAD LOVE.
