The World’s Best Therapist was selected as a Finalist in the Strawberry One-Act Festival in the Winter of 2015
Roger and Amber are keeping a big secret from each other: they are both going to therapy. For most couples going to therapy wouldn’t be a big deal, but Roger and Amber aren’t most couples. Many years ago, to prove their everlasting love for each other, they made a pact never to go to therapy, with the stipulation that whoever broke the pact would owe the other $50,000. Not only are Roger and Amber secretly going to therapy, but unbeknownst to each other, they are also seeing the same therapist. The therapist, failing to realize that his clients are married to each other, sets Roger and Amber up on a blind date. He thinks he has a genius plan; two clients, both unhappy with their respective spouses-- it’s a match made in heaven, if the couple wasn’t already a couple.

Albert and Ben spend an evening together waiting for a train, and by looking at them they're complete opposites. One is extremely put together and the other, well... he could really use a shower.

Technology and I have a nice rapport, we've been through a lot together. We eat lunch together, we listen to music together, we even share secrets together. But remember, it's okay to be critical even about the things you love.
