Saturday Morning Random Thoughts on Theatre
If given the choice between seeing good theatre and a failed attempt at great theatre, always pick the latter. Theatre does not “hold a mirror” up to life. Bad theatre lies about what it means to be human, good theatre reveals something true about being human, something we don’t pay attention to in everyday life, …
Please Don’t Look
I have a pet peeve. Ok, I have a number of pet peeves, but I want to share this one in particular with you today. I want actors to stop looking at each other all the damned time. Bear with me here, it will make sense in a jiffy. Take a moment to think back …
They Keep Pulling Me Back In

New 10 Minute Play
As promised, a comedy. Of sorts. At least I find it amusing. Special thanks to EscapePod.org for publishing a great series of superhero stories (of course thanks to Jeffrey R. Derego for writing them!) and providing me the inspiration to find a way to work tyromancy and sycomancy into a play. Without further ado: Team: …
