My Next Career Move?
Been working with this Misfits crew for the last 6 weeks or so to see if standup comedy is something I wanna try my hand at on a more regular basis. We’ve got this initial show in Austin on Sunday during SXSW. Thanks to Jerry and Camille for the encouragement. Interested to see where...

ScriptWorks Forever!
ScriptWorks just had their best Amplify Austin year to date. I take particular pride in this because I organized and ran the whole operation with a brand new member profile and “6-line masterpiece” every 90 minutes over a 24-hour period. At the time of this writing, we were agonizingly close to our fundraising goal....

The Schlub and the Sonata to Debut this Spring
The short play I wrote as part of the ScriptWorks Weekend Fling this fall will be part of the Out of Ink production at Hyde Park Theatre from April 30th to May 9th. I’m happy about this one. It’s more serious than many I write, and touches on elements of grief (while still having...

It’s a satire about land and ownership and acres and politics and money and… puniness. I’m hoping...

Apparently the world cares more about exercise theories than my artistic meanderings. Sheesh. And I’d like to give an update on it, emerging from the pessimism I was in at the...

A Friendly Lady on Wednesday Night
I’m working on a new monologue/performance piece about my sister called A FRIENDLY LADY. Not 100% sure it’s working or if I have the structure right, but I’ll be performing an early version of it for one night only on Wednesday, September 24 as part of ScriptWorks Solos at Hyde Park Theatre at 8pm....

We have a chance to do a theatrical experiment at the legendary rock ‘n roll club The Hole in the Wall on the drag in Austin next week. We’ll have Americana artist Amelia Card to open up with a few tunes, then the reading of a brand new dark comedy about friendship, THE LILY...
