Synopsis: The Umpire is the story of an irresponsible umpire, Gregg Gannon, who returns home from a failed Las Vegas marriage to face family turmoil and competition from an old high school rival. Gregg must decide between being a responsible, well adjusted adult or continue his pursuit of umpiring in the major leagues. After spending several years playing competitive sports the lifestyles and habits of umpires appeared like more of a sub-culture to me than a profession. The entire "be seen but not heard" philosophy of officiating offers a rare comedic value which drove me to put this screenplay on paper. I'd like to submit The Umpire for your consideration and possible representation. Thank you for your time and consideration. Sincerely,
Synopsis: Note - this is a full length stage-play. ANTHONY DEFICIENTE is trying to find his niche in life, but opportunities don't come easy in the dying industrial city of Gloversville, New York. Chronically unemployed, he struggles to make ends meet. All his relatives are "dead from the cancer" and he's the only one left to take care of GRANDMA, who refuses to share him with anyone. His love for Linda Ronstadt sustains him, and his refuge is his bedroom, the only room in the house without "that old lady smell." The action reveals the insanity of his past and the strong, freakish bond that holds him and Grandma together (for example, her thwarting of his suicide attempt with a frosting spatula). When Anthony meets DOUG, a fellow "Linda Nut" with a secret, Grandma and Anthony must learn how to maintain their relationship while allowing Anthony a little freedom for his own life. The play requires a cast of 6 playing 13 characters. The approximate running time is 85 minutes.
