Plays include:
The Lost Samantha Treasure
The Plague on Madison Avenue
The Mystery of Baby Leah
Another Kennedy in the White House

REVIEWS:

The Lost Samantha Treasure is nothing if not memorable' - and hysterical. Frye has certainly penned a good one this time around, tossing some of the more well-used melodrama jokes out the window in favor of a humor that requires timing and talent.

Jacqueline Boudreau Wichita Old Town Gazette

Like most modern melodrama scripts, Frye's Samantha is pretty much just a vehicle for slapstick silliness, but the dialogue in this one is darned funny...Frye had a blast...the d'enouement...features Saturday Night Fever - style dance numbers. The audience certainly enjoyed watching the show the evening I attended.
