Smiles to Saturn
A fact-based account of what it's like to have Aspergers syndrome, as seen through the eyes of the delightfully quirky David, his caring (but resentful) younger brother, and the women who force them to confront their issues head-on: the feisty, sharp-tongued Amanda, and the perky Internet spokesmodel, Miss Sparkles.
Smiles to Saturn has been performed at Manhattan Repertory Theater, the Bleecker Street Theater (2012 Planet Connections Theatre Festivity), and the historic Loews Jersey City.
"Written and directed by Mark Jason Williams, the play brought both tears and smiles, its authenticity and humor providing a glimpse into the familiar and the unfamiliar."

Midnight Musings
After a bad date, and way too much coffee, Caroline spends a sleepless night confronting the ghosts of relationships past, present, and yet to come, and has some major personal revelations along the way in this provocative and hilarious drama.
Midnight Musings has been performed at the Philipsburgh Performing Arts Center (Yonkers, NY), Manhattan Theater Source, and the Bleecker Street Theater (2012 Planet Connections Theater Festivity).
"It's when Midnight Musings (by Williams who also directed the piece) arrives that the night is moved to a whole other level. The story, the acting, the direction – everything about this little gem is perfect. Direction is fast, but not rushed, and the piece is a tumble of memories which pour fourth exactly the way anyone’s will after a bad date." -- The Happiest Medium , 2012 Planet Connections Theatre Festivity
