• Dramatis Personae Milton (m), 35, struggling actor in New York City; Diane (f), 31, once a successful model, once a lover to Milton.

• Synopsis “Milton is brought to court by his former girlfriend, Diane, for child support. Milton thinks that Diane is being unfair because he made it clear to her that having kids is not a consideration in their relationship. Diane doesn’t really want his help but realizes that she can't financially support the baby on her own. After going through a few accusations and misunderstandings, Diane and Milton come to terms in resolving their differences in an amicable way.

• Comment “All that is required is a conference table and three chairs. The play has been performed by three New York City theaters: American Playwrights Theatre and Caicedo Productions (1999), Riant Theatre (1999), Love Creek Productions (1998). It also made the finals in the Strawbridge Theatre Festival (1999). Presented by The Harbor Theatre in the Samuel French 2004 One Act Festival.”
