March 2019 play readings
I want to give a quick promotion to my fellow Philadelphia playwrights who are enjoying readings at Theatre Exile this month. Given that the first one is tonight, I should have done this sooner but, well, I didn’t. All three readings are happening at Theatre Exile’s digs at 1340 South 13th Street, Philadelphia, at 7…

Interview with the Liars
Unbeknownst to my gentle readers, I was interviewed a few weeks ago by the good folks of the Liars Club for their podcast (or, as they like to call it, “Oddcast”). Last week, that interview went live. Admittedly, I should have blogged about this a week ago, but life got in the way, and anyway,…

New Mural at the Drake…with my name on it!
So, while I was plunking away at my novel, something interesting happened over the summer; I had my name and a quote from one of my plays plastered on the side of a building. Okay, sure, so did 39 other local playwrights, but that doesn’t make my statement less true. The Drake Theater (located on…

A lot of you might not know Bruce, but he’s a local playwright who had a…

In case you haven’t heard, Season Three of my groundbreaking web series, Martinis with Nick, went live between Christmas and New Year’s. That’s five action-packed interviews with some of Philadelphia’s coolest and most enigmatic theater artists, replete with saucy foods, smooth cocktails, and vernacular splendor. Also, Mark Knight juggles potatoes. So, if you haven’t already, go…

Kudos to my friends
As I sit here in the absence of an aftermath from not attending the Push to Publish Conference last weekend, I’m hit with a reminder email from the good people at Theatre Philadelphia that the 2017 Barrymore Awards are in two weeks. And, while I don’t plan to attend this year, it does remind me…

New plays in the dregs of summer
October is finally here, which means summer is good and dead (for which, I am grateful), and we can get on with important stuff. Like theater and writing. You’re welcome. Having said that, there was one interesting play I saw at the end of July that I’ve been going back and forth about mentioning: I Am…
