"Slave or Free" (Sacagawea and York) was a finalist among 1100 scripts in Actors Theatre's 2004 Ten Minute Play Competition. "The Reluctant Nudist" is a spoof; "The Premium" has an unemployed professor selling insurance in Appalachia. A teenage Confederacy heroine shines in "A Day The Weeds Grew." 1800s Cincinnati comes alive in "Wandering..From Kentucky." A dysfunctional St. Louis family disagrees in "The Danton Way." while love blooms on "A Train Ride to Muncie." "I Live From Day to Day" with its French locale prompted Margo Jones' comment: "Fred Woodress has a feeling for mood, characterization."
