Rookie of the Year?
I found out last week I’d been nominated as Rookie of the Year for my new softball league. Which isn’t something you expect to hear when you’re deep into your late-late-late-30s, but it’s a real honor and I’m excited to tell my middle-school MVP son about it. In other related news, our softball team...

So 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...

Been helping to co-produce a new work at Trinity Theatre with local writer Rita Anderson. The piece, GLIDERS, is about three generations of women who begin to uncover family secrets right as the Apollo 11 mission to the moon is making headlines in 1969. The timing for the production coincides with the 50th anniversary...

My kid had a short season of Ultimate Frisbee this past month, following his first breathless season of middle school basketball. I played some Ultimate in college so have a taste for the game and its relatively easy-going nature. Still, seeing that at the end every game all the kids get in a circle...

My kids and I attended the preview for the latest installment of Out of Ink last night and had a great time. 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...

This is the poster. I think it looks great. Still have to get some infrastructure things in place behind it (website, ticket site, fb event, postering around town) but…. are we ready to sign off? If you see anything glaringly weird or questionable, hit me up!...
Graphic Ideas for May 29th
These are thumbnail drafts I got for An Evening of Light from Ryan. I’m leaning toward #2 right now if we can brighten it up and make it more readable and clear. My kids like #1 too, and I also like the simplicity of #4. Some of the others look a bit too religious or something....

A couple of things for future (and present) posterity: 1) I stumbled on this photo someone took of me in Amsterdam when I was in my mid-20s, roughly 10 years older than my son is now. Quite the expression, Mr. Langert (and you’re looking a bit swarthy). Hair’s a bit longer and the stubble’s...

I’ve been tossing this benefit idea around with my friend Raul the last year or two, He’s on the board of VELA Families and has invited me to a couple of their annual galas. The organization is great, doing wonderful things for families who don’t necessarily have the resources to know what’s available for...
