I’m late in posting this, but I’m grateful to this crew for putting on such a great performance the third week of FronteraFest this year. I wasn’t able to be around for much of the prep work, but Ruth (director) and Kristen and Ashley and Christina and Linda and Chiara came through with an...

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. I wrote a piece about someone going undercover with the Texas Rangers organization, following in the footsteps (sort of) of...
Continue readingMillion the Film
I’m so excited that the crew that got A Million More to Go onstage in Austin has decided to turn it into a feature-length independent film. I went back and forth a few times with the director, turning the playscript into a screenplay, and they started filming last week about an hour outside of...

The print edition of the Austin Chronicle had a different headline than the online version, so saving this signed copy (thanks, Kaitlin) for posterity. The next stage of this project starts in three weeks! More to come… ...
And That’s a Wrap. For Now…
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:...

Preview of April Publication
Got this proof of the cover for my play from Next Stage Press recently. Looks good to me! I just sent off the file with all the words on it for formatting and will see what comes back. So far it’s been a smooth, fun experience. Will be happy to get my hands around...
Continue readingThe Mystery of the Missing Car: tonight!
I’ll be performing a new piece tonight at FronteraFest. I had to take a u-turn from my originally intended work when life and family interrupted a few months ago. I decided to turn that lemon (that’s supposed to be a car reference) into lemonade by writing a cathartic (yet hopefully entertaining) monologue about what...
Continue readingComing in 2024
I got some good news from Next Stage Press recently. They’re going to publish A Million More to Go, which had a successful reading about 18 months ago at Hyde Park Theatre. The script should be available in the spring, which is great timing because I’ll be partnering with my friends at Jarrott Productions...
