Hey, I won something! Last year I got invited to join a beta test for a new app under development, called Fantasy Elect. It’s like fantasy football, but it’s about elections and predicting who’s going to win congressional, senate and gubernatorial seats – and it includes other elements used for scoring like fundraising, polling...

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 –...

We’ve had a couple of good reviews in Broadway World and Central Texas Live, and there may be another one or two coming, but audiences have been uniformly really positive and enthusiastic. If that’s not all, an old work friend of mine busted out of the theater the other night when the lights came...

I heard an interview with Sheryl Lee Ralph (from Abbot Elementary and Dreamgirls) the other day. And I want to say first off that she’s great and talented and has an exceptionally resilient attitude and deserves all the awards she can get. One of the things she said which resonated with me – when...
