This show happened on August 27th and it sold out. But not in the super exciting way it sounds. It was one of those things where the last couple of people came in the door RIGHT as we were about to start and they barely filled up the last two available spots. Still, a...

Why are they semi-events? Oh, different reasons, I guess. One’s not really an event yet, but there’s potential; one’s an event but it’s not really something to crow about; and the other may or may not happen. In no particular order: 1) Tuesday, August 27th: I told my softball buddies that I’d put on...
Continue readingSo I’ve got this one-act (60-70 minutes) comedy I’ve been sitting on for a while, and ScriptWorks is going to host a reading of it with some wonderful actors on Sunday, May 19th, at 6:30pm at Hyde Park Theatre. It’s free, open to the public, there will be wine and snacks, AND the piece...

My piece (EMPOWERMENT) is sort of a horror office comedy and I really like it a lot, though there have been some technical challenges along the way, so I was really interested...

And here we go. Had our final rehearsal last night for this play, and I think we’re in pretty good shape. It’s a super-competitive week in terms of other shows. There are 4-5 groups that have gone to Best of Fest in the past, so I feel like we have a shot, but it’s...
Continue readingWe had the first read-through of Big Guy this weekend, and it went pretty well! I think the cast is excellent, and the play’s not too shabby either. I have a bit of work to do to flesh things out but nothing too major. Nhaila, Jenn, David, Cherry and Laura seem like they’ll fit...
Continue readingHere we go for the fourth year in a row… THURSDAY 7:12pm: Got to the meetup a little late; played a silly rock-paper-scissors game with the rest of the group; chatted, etc., as you do 8:03pm: The theme was pulled from the hat: Bears & Robots 8:04pm: Randomly, I was give the play #4...
Continue readingJust a few things to highlight in the coming weeks (because I know you’re curious): Wednesday, October 17th at 1pm: I’ll be a guest on KOOP Radio (91.7 FM) with the 14/48 crew. I’m super excited about this. In a way to promote the weekend speed-producing festival that is 14/48, I’ll be given 48 minutes...
Continue readingI’ve been struggling with a longer work of fiction for a while, and recently had someone I trust in the literary business read it and give me some great, constructive feedback. She had a lot to say about its strengths (which I appreciate, of course) but also lots to say about its challenges (which...
