Last week felt busy. Saturday night we did the Comfort Food story event at Cinemaker Space with about 300 attendees (Christine killed the PR stuff). It was great hanging out with you, Vyasar, Brunell, Tien, Christine, Nell, Addie and Yola (not pictured cuz she had a standup gig to run to). You can read...

Come out and support the Austin Ball’rz as they make you laugh and cringe all the way to the Softball World Series in Minneapolis. The money raised tonight will help defray travel and lodging costs for the team as they represent Austin on the road to softball glory. Some true Austin acting legends will...

We had a fun night on Saturday the 17th, showcasing new and evolving works by a trio of local writers. A good, really enthusiastic crowd showed up – and the performances were well done and varied. The feedback we got was to do more of this kind of thing. It’s nice because the event...

We’re hosting an unusual event with an unusual name. We have an opportunity to use the stage at Hyde Park Theatre on a Saturday and are bringing together some really cool people to show off their work. Here are the details: CPT presents the Inaugural Unique Voices Showcase featuring Maggie Gallant, Nailah Jumoke and...

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)...

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...

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...

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....
