Got this proof of the cover for my play from Next Stage Press recently. Looks good to me! I just sent off the file with all the words on it for formatting and will see what comes back. So far it’s been a smooth, fun experience. Will be happy to get my hands around...

The Mystery of the Missing Car: tonight!
I’ll be performing a new piece tonight at FronteraFest. I had to take a u-turn from my originally intended work when life and family interrupted a few months ago. I decided to turn that lemon (that’s supposed to be a car reference) into lemonade by writing a cathartic (yet hopefully entertaining) monologue about what...

I got some good news from Next Stage Press recently. They’re going to publish A Million More to Go, which had a successful reading about 18 months ago at Hyde Park Theatre. The script should be available in the spring, which is great timing because I’ll be partnering with my friends at Jarrott Productions...

Last week felt busy. Saturday night we did the Comfort Food story event at Cinemaker Space with about 300 attendees (Christine killed the PR stuff). It was great hanging out with you, Vyasar, Brunell, Tien, Christine, Nell, Addie and Yola (not pictured cuz she had a standup gig to run to). You can read...

Come out and support the Austin Ball’rz as they make you laugh and cringe all the way to the Softball World Series in Minneapolis. The money raised tonight will help defray travel and lodging costs for the team as they represent Austin on the road to softball glory. Some true Austin acting legends will...

We had a fun night on Saturday the 17th, showcasing new and evolving works by a trio of local writers. A good, really enthusiastic crowd showed up – and the performances were well done and varied. The feedback we got was to do more of this kind of thing. It’s nice because the event...

We have an opportunity to use the stage at Hyde Park Theatre on a Saturday and are bringing together some really cool people to show off their work. Here are the details: CPT presents the Inaugural Unique Voices Showcase featuring Maggie Gallant, Nailah Jumoke and...

We’re partnering with a few friends to put on a benefit night to help out one of my favorite orgs, ScriptWorks, which hasn’t received its usual city grants, and has a pretty uncertain future at this point. We’re hoping to keep it running at full speed as long as we can. The following (below)...

This post is mostly an excuse to memorialize this show graphic that my son put together for me. The annual festival (after a two-year hiatus) is in its final week, and it was mostly pretty fun with a hiccup or two here and there. The Dating Project was remounted in an edited-down version –...

Welp, it’s been a few years but FronteraFest — my old stomping ground — is back. I’m not really ready for it. I feel like an out-of-shape boxer asked to step back into the ring after retirement. BUT I’m in for a penny (actually, three pennies) and basically in for a (or three) pound/s....
