i write plays for friends and strangers. 
​here's what's been going on with some of them: 

PREFER VIEWS TO NEWS?
here's an interview i enjoyed doing
 The 14th season of our little-theater-that-could, the HARBOR STAGE COMPANY,
kicked off with the world premiere of PRIZE FIGHT, my new comedy about "best art".
The one-and-only JONATHAN FIELDING directed the very dynamic duo of 
​
ROBIN BLOODWORTH and SAMANTHA STEINMETZ. Just in time for awards season.
After this summer's joyful run at San Diego's OLD GLOBE,
the adaptation
 of CYRANO Jason O'Connell and I put together heads to Providence JAN 27-MAR 18.
TRINITY REP's Artistic Director (and all around star) Meredith McDonough will helm the production.  
​Small cast, big nose, love to spare.
Spent a wonderful month as a Scholar of Note at the American Library in Paris last spring.
The perfect place to dig into a new piece about Julia Child (and beaucoup, beaucoup, beaucoup de croissants).
​C'était magnifique. 
The HARBOR's production of my Willa Cather adaptation, THE BOHEMIAN, 
made its way to Red Cloud, NE for the Cather Foundation's Annual Conference.
Big, beautiful ideas in a small, beautiful town: our favorite. 
Doctor of Theatre and general chaos, Emily K. Harrison, brought my screwball nightmare UBU ROAR
​to life at HAMILTON last fall. A wholehearted, jolie laide production of this tale as old as tyrants.  
My little-plays-that-could, OFF PEAK and THE DING DONGS, have been enjoying
some wonderful productions across the country, thanks in large part to their publication with TRW Plays.
They are great beach reads if you read them on the beach.
Excited to have the innovative, delightful folks at UPROAR THEATRICALS licensing 
THE DEER AND THE ANTELOPE, my offbeat look at law and disorder.  
Check out Uproar's growing catalogue here; they're an incredible company sharing new plays in new ways.
