Busy, busy, busy December is always busy, so much so that I actually look forward to January, when things settle down. But this month, there was a lot going on in addition to the holidays. I had my reading of SEEDS on December 5th, with a fabulous cast who, in one rehearsal, nailed so much […]

Just got word that WRITE THIS WAY will be produced in Manchester, UK by Laced Banana for their Heart Beats festival for World AIDS Day November 30. With the Uppity Theater Company’s February production, that’s three hits for this play. THE COUPLE NEXT DOOR will get a read at the Hive Theatre in New York […]

In lieu of a post today, I’m going to direct you to my guest post on 2amtheatre.com: Shuffle off to #newplay There’s a great video about the Buffalo theater scene, so even if the post bores you to tears, give that a watch. It’s awesome! In other news, my short play, Life Lines, won the […]

Next weekend, I have Life Lines opening in Seoul with the Seoul Players, and two days later, Black and White opening with n.u.f.a.n. ensemble’s Table and Chairs Festival in Chicago (the latter was a result of the my recent binge; see previous post). Next month, Greater Good will be part of The Writer Speaks at Three […]

Navigating the Divide Between Novels and Plays A Q&A with writer Patrick Gabridge, whose novel, Tornado Siren, just became available as an ebook Patrick is a fellow playwright and founder of the Playwrights Binge that I wrote about last week. Fittingly, I get to feature him here on the final day of the Binge. Thanks […]

It’s September, which means it’s time for another biannual Playwrights Binge. The goal? Submit at least one play a day for the entire month. The beautiful thing about this is that during this time, Bingers share opportunities that they come across with the entire list. There are no worries about increasing competition or keeping all […]

Just got the email that WRITE THIS WAY was The Producers Choice at the 2011 Briefs Festival at Theatre Out in Santa Ana. The play ran with five others for ten performances over three weekends. Audiences voted The Mission, by Joe Godfrey as their favorite, and the three producers unanimously voted mine. I can’t say enough how wonderful […]

After much deliberation, I’d bitten the bullet and bought six War Horse tickets. Even though I was pretty sure I’d be at least moderately turned off by the blatant sentimental manipulation, I wanted to see the only Tony nominee (and the winner) for Best Play that I hadn’t seen this year just to confirm that […]

From the very first notification that Write This Way was accepted into Theatre Out’s Second Annual Briefs Festival, I’ve been very impressed with the company’s professionalism, particulary their commitment to keeping playwrights in the loop, especially because all six are East Coasters and not all of us can make it for the event. By way […]

The biggest news, obviously, is my brand new Web site, conceived and designed by The Rodi Company and Michael Naylor. I think it looks gorgeous, and hope that you’ll find it easy to navigate as well. In the time that it took to get the site up and running, I’ve had quite a bit happening. This […]
