Just don’t want to lose site of this play. I think it’s good and has potential in general, but it’s currently in consideration for a couple of things: A theater in Austin is keeping it on their short list for consideration for their next season (no idea what the chances are) It was just...

Save the date (August 31st) for a reading of a new play, tentatively titled THE LANDOWNERS, at Hyde Park Theatre on Monday, August 31st. It’ll feature some of Austin’s best actors and should be a real good time. We’d love to hear what you think. There’s a lowkey Facebook event HERE if you want...

Lots of theatrical stuff going on these days. I’m late to post this, but I have a show that I’m excited about tonight (in just over an hour) at Ground Floor Theatre. My play features recurring actor buddy Sean and is being directed by Jaimee who recently moved down from the northeast and she...

I mentioned this a while back, but I’ve got a short play in this festival which opens in less than two weeks. Rehearsals are going well, and I’ve got a bang-up cast and director (whom I’ve worked with several times). These shows are always fun and each play is over pretty quickly, so there’s...

ScriptWorks just had their best Amplify Austin year to date. I take particular pride in this because I organized and ran the whole operation with a brand new member profile and “6-line masterpiece” every 90 minutes over a 24-hour period. At the time of this writing, we were agonizingly close to our fundraising goal....

The short play I wrote as part of the ScriptWorks Weekend Fling this fall will be part of the Out of Ink production at Hyde Park Theatre from April 30th to May 9th. I’m happy about this one. It’s more serious than many I write, and touches on elements of grief (while still having...

A quick post just because I’m excited about this new project. I just got done with a writing workshop, working on a new play that I’m currently calling THREE PUNY ACRES (but was originally titled THE LANDOWNERS). It’s a satire about land and ownership and acres and politics and money and… puniness. I’m hoping...

We have a chance to do a theatrical experiment at the legendary rock ‘n roll club The Hole in the Wall on the drag in Austin next week. We’ll have Americana artist Amelia Card to open up with a few tunes, then the reading of a brand new dark comedy about friendship, THE LILY...

This piece has been on quite a journey over the past year. First produced as a play at Trinity Theatre last June (a coproduction with CinnPath), it was quickly turned into an adapted screenplay, and then filmed over just 7 days in a remote location outside Austin. And now it’s having its official debut...
