Plays

I have written over 40 plays in my long life in the theater. Almost all of these plays have been produced. Among them are full-length plays, one-acts and plays created in collaboration with a company. What follows is a partial listing of these plays, alphabetically arranged by length, and categorized by full length, one act, and collaborations.

“Boesing never writes a play of no content. This is rare in our time....I love it that her work has so much color and surprise and sharp turns on stage, and I appreciate her huge gift for drama, but I doubly appreciate that the Boesing talent has a solid, sophisticated and humane mind in it.”

—Carol Bly, Author and Lecturer in Ethics, University of Minnesota
