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:...

We don’t have a million tickets more to go (that’s a little confusing) but there are some left for every show, as of this writing! Get ’em right HERE. We open on Friday, June 14th and close on Sunday, June 30th at Trinity Street Playhouse in downtown Austin....

Mayor Pro Tem: Coming Soon!
Inspired by the upcoming Austin mayoral election (and some other elections too), we’ve commissioned a new play from one of our favorite residential playwrights and hope to present it to the public as part of a benefit sometime around August or September.

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...

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...

As I continue to look through old shelves and cupboards in the house I grew up in, I’m finding occasional curiosities and treasures, piecing together some old family history. This photo popped up out of nowhere and seemed stunning to me. This is my parents about 7 years before I was born. My dad...
