In April 2016, the Goodsells wrote and starred in a play entitled "Goodsell, Good Life" which won Runner Up in the Shortlived Play Competition at Piano Fight in San Francisco!

It was written and directed by the Goodsells and shot and edited by Helder Pedro; check out his other work HERE !
After spending a year living in Hollywood, soaking up the sun and playing through the palm trees, Suzil and her life partner, Tommy Lazer, are back in the Bay Area currently living on a tiny island reminiscent of the Truman Show ( but we hope without the entire world watching them brush their teeth every night.)
Suzil and Tommy, working as Howie and Dina Goodsell, just finished up their newest script for a new short play (coming to a stage near you soon) and have several new acts in the works.
