Upcoming stuff...

Hey, Friends

Just an update on what creative happenings are currently on the radar; from June 11th-14th, my new one-act Given Our Current Fiscal Crisis will be premiering in Gallery Players' Black Box Festival. This is as timely a satire as I think you can get in these kooky financial times, so hopefully you can wrangle a few nickles together and head out to Park Slope, Brooklyn for this.

Secondly, my short play The Enlightenment of Mrs. Cartwell just received the 2009 Silver Stage Award by the Old Opera House Theatre Company in Charles Town, WV. They will also be producing it in their New Voice Festival from June 26th-28th. For those unable to schlep to Charles Town, Cartwell will have its NYC premier in the Estrogenius Festival at Manhattan Theatre Source from October 1st-3rd.

I'm also pleased that I seem to have more-or-less completed my first full book of poetry, titled The Blessing of Distractions.

Lastly, I'll be in Valdez, Alaska June 12th-22nd for the Last Frontier Theatre Conference, where my play Day of the Dog will have a featured presentation, starring Laura Gardner, Frank Collison and Glenn Worshower (of "24") and directed by Bostin Christopher. As part of the LFTC Play Lab, I'll also be directing the premiere staged reading of my earlier full-length The Old Wife's Tale, in addition to acting in other readings at the Lab.

And, of course, we're anticipating the next incarnation of Hyenas in NYC.

Thanks for checkin' in.

Be Well.

The Hyenas Killed

I've avoided making any updates to this blog of late, mainly because I wanted to have my little ad for The Hyenas Got It Down right at the top for all to see. Now that our very successful run at Manhattan Repertory Theatre has come to a close (as of April 10th), I'll just briefly relay that it was a very nice 3-night engagement and I was quite pleased with the very strong response to the piece. So now, as far as Hyenas is concerned, we'll see where it ends up next. We're hoping it's the Fringe Festival, as I think this piece is a nice fit for it and, of course, it would be great exposure for the piece. We'll see. I trust that it'll rear it's ugly head again sometime soon, regardless.

Thanks & love to all who came out.
