Monologue Show this Weekend
Oh hey, it’s me! This Sunday (depending on when you’re reading this) at 5pm Central at Hyde Park Theatre, we’re doing a show of original monologues by members of ScriptWorks — to benefit… ScriptWorks.

Oh hey, we’re doing it again! Our favorite hometown team, the Austin Ball’rz, has made it to the World Series tournament again (this time in Vegas). We’ll be doing a couple of play readings, having a prize or two, and trying a weird new version of Texas Hold ‘Em. Come check out the world...

We wrapped up A MILLION MORE TO GO last week to a satisfyingly full house. It was a great experience, and I’m still digesting it all. I loved all the collaborations and can’t wait to work with this crew again. We got a few reviews for it, which I’ll link to here. Austin Chronicle:...
