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
Two of my favorite actors, ROBIN BLOODWORTH and SAMANTHA STEINMETZ, are duking it out in PRIZE FIGHT,
my new look at the absurd world of arts awards. Catch this punchy premiere (beautifully directed by
the one-and-only JONATHAN FIELDING) as part of our 14th season at the HARBOR STAGE COMPANY.
Sea breezes and semantics through JULY 11.
 The adaptation of CYRANO Jason O'Connell and I put together will have its west coast premiere
this summer at the OLD GLOBE. ​Small cast, big nose, love to spare.
​We'll run in San Diego JULY 18-AUGUST 9.
The HARBOR's production of my Willa Cather adaptation, THE BOHEMIAN, 
mad its way to Red Cloud, NE this spring for the Cather Foundation's Annual Conference.
Big, beautiful ideas in a small, beautiful town: our favorite. 
Spent a wonderful month as a Scholar of Note at the American Library in Paris this spring.
The perfect place to dig into my new piece about Julia Child (and beaucoup, beaucoup, beaucoup de croissants).
​C'était magnifique. 
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.
