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...

The Dating Project is a Hit!
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...
Continue readingStories Found: Personality Test
My friends at Stories Found invited me back for another episode recently. They ended up recording a short interview and a 10-minute play of mine, Personality Test, which is probably officially my most-produced piece at this point. I wrote it in the aughts and it was first performed at the City Theatre in Delaware....

I had a busy day yesterday meeting with the production companies for both THE DATING PROJECT and THE PACT (July and September openings, respectively). Anyway, at the evening meetup and rehearsal I was gifted this mug. I would be happy to have this as an epitaph, so… I feel like I’ve finally made it....
Continue reading“Doubleheader” Benefit July 24th
We’re going to be partnering with Summer Break Theatre next month to raise money for a local LGBTQ softball team to go to the world series. The event will feature comedy, an updated reading of the FronteraFest Wild Card-winning play SUNDAY SLUGG’RZ and the brand new rom-project-management-com THE DATING PROJECT. Tickets for the overall...

Summer Break Theatre is producing this new (dripping, hot off the presses) comedy of mine in the second half of July at Hyde Park Theatre. We had auditions earlier this week and I think things are lining up well. It’ll run two weeks, opening July 17th. A little background on this one, because it’s...
Continue readingSpring, Summer and Fall Onstage
Got a few things brewing over the next six months or so, which is much busier than I usually am. In chronological order: Sunday, April 24th: a reading of A MILLION MORE TO GO at Hyde Park Theatre Sunday, July 17th: opening night of THE DATING PROJECT at Hyde Park Theatre Thursday, September 29th:...

I’m not a big musical fan in general, though there are a handful of them I enjoy. I thought La La Land was all right, but I thought the opening scene was absolutely brilliant. I’ve probably watched it 15 times on its own, about half a dozen times during one plane ride last year...
Continue readingEmbracing Fatherhood Onstage
So I did this thing that scared the hell/heck out of me last week. I performed a semi-autobiographical/semi-fictional piece about being the father to a teenage son. Now that round two of this complex year is underway (and attitudes and behaviors changed almost immediately on his birthday; it was uncanny) I wanted to try...

I’ve got a couple of shows coming up in January and February for FronteraFest. More details on both (probably) later, but… here’s what’s on the docket: Friday, January 17th: A Series of Open Letters to my Teenage Son This is a solo piece where I’ll be addressing (semi-autobiographically, semi-fictionally) my son from ages 13...
