    Yeah, yeah, I know, I’ve been mysteriously absent from my blog, lately.  Chalk it up to a new job, a new dog, and plenty of writing projects to keep me busy. Shortly, I’ll be updating everyone on my progress selling my novel, The Lost City of the Metal Men, though there isn’t a terrible amount to…

    So, a kickass, new announcement: my play, The Do’s and Don’ts of Time Travel is receiving its west-coast premiere in January 2019! I know, right!  I’ve known about this for some time, but I promised Quantum Dragon Theatre I wouldn’t say anything until they issued their press release, which they did three days ago.  Here’s their announcement…

    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…

    Apologies for taking a month off from blogging, but I felt a little overwhelmed and emotionally unprepared to share my nonsense thoughts about theater.  But, break’s over.  I’ve finally managed to finish shooting and cutting the second season of Martinis with Nick, and if you hop over to my sister website, you can watch the final…

    Despite the wasteland of theater activity that summer typically is, I’ve been doing all kinds of random junk for the past couple of weeks, but I’ve been too busy pulling weeds and barricading myself against the heat to update my blog (also…I started a brand-new play).  So, this week will involve some catch-up, beginning with my most…

    Summer is ticking away in Philadelphia, which generally means trips to the shore, generous helpings of water ice, and relatively little theater, hence, my lack of blogging.  But yesterday afternoon, Aurora and I caught the matinee of Moon Man Walk, the world premiere by James Ijames. There are a couple of powerful reasons for all local…

    First things first: Episode 1.3 of Martinis with Nick went live yesterday.  If you hop over there, you can check out playwright Jacqui Goldfinger talking about the Foundry (the program she co-founded) and using the word “quixotic” to badmouth me.  Good times. Second things second: Aurora and I checked out Theatre Exile’s production of Edward…

    Allow me to correct my negligence in failing to report about last week’s kick-off party for the New Play Exchange (NPX).  This is the latest brainchild of the National New Play Network, a conglomerate (Pod?  Pride?  Murder?) of member theaters who love the crap out of new plays.  Perhaps the most public service these guys have introduced is…

    Special thanks to the good citizens of Philadelphia New Play Initiative and Directors Gathering for scheduling a joint whatzit, wherein, a pile of hungry directors and a pile of hungry playwrights were thrust into the same room to claw at one another for an opportunity. I must admit, I didn’t quite know what to expect when…

    Orbiter 3’s launch party was last night, and it was quite the place to see-and-be-seen.  Some questioned the wisdom of shoehorning a hundred people or so into a tiny coffee shop, but I thought it was genius.  It gave the event a feeling of immediacy, whereas the same hundred people plunked in the middle of a warehouse…
