Author's Notes:

This play began as a freewriting exercise in a playwriting class at the University of Nebraska at Kearney. For this, I owe a thank you to my playwriting teacher, my classmates, and the actors who first performed "Off Hand" during An Evening of Ten-Minute Plays at the Museum of Nebraska Art. Also, for all of their love and support through the publishing process, thank you to my family and friends. To Heuer Publishing, producers/directors willing to take on "Off Hand," and audiences, thanks for giving me a chance. As for insightful comments on the play, have fun with it. That's all I ask. Some may think it's complex for a ten-minute play, but don't be afraid to experiment, whether the performance is simplistic or elaborate. You never know what you can accomplish until you try.

Synopsis

A recent retiree and his wife make a startling discovery in their backyard. With false accusations, secret pasts, and a few mishaps along the way, this play is truly off hand.
