We had both a critical and commercial success at our well-attended benefit reading last Saturday at the Amala Foundation, raising over $2500 for ScriptWorks to help them bridge a difficult economic time. Big thanks to the newly-founded Latin@xé Artists ATX and playwright Rupert Reyes for their support, energy, and leadership. The venue was great...

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)...

We had a good old time at our reading on Sunday. A great turnout of local softball players and writers and theater-goers. Thanks to all who showed up for the play, and especially those who stayed to give feedback and chat after. People genuinely seemed to have fun, and there were a lot of...

We’re doing a reading! And we’d love to have you come check it out. The Slugg’rz are back! And they’re even more slugg’ry than ever. Catch a reading of this new comedy during spring training and see if they can make their way to the majors! There’s a quick-and-dirty Facebook event if you want...

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....

This is kinda preliminary, but I’ve had some interest in this piece we did a reading for in the spring by some theater folks in Los Angeles, so I’m waiting to hear more. But I’d love to do that play (which is a bit of a satire of recent election shenanigans) while it’s still...

I’ve completed a draft of the pilot episode of this Maine-based sitcom I mentioned back in May. The current name of the show is THE CROSS-EYED LOON, inspired by The Cockeyed Gull, a real place on Peaks Island off the coast of Portland. Here’s a quick summary: In this pilot episode, a...

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...

Well, that went well. The show sold out about half the nights (all off-nights too) and all the feedback I got was positive, and attendance seemed to spread with word of mouth. Great to be a part of such a successful event! I guess I shouldn’t be too surprised that a show about dating...
