Great quote: ”Even in literature and art, no man who bothers about originality will ever be original: whereas if you simply try to tell the truth (without caring twopence how often it has been told before) you will, nine times out of ten, become original without ever having noticed it.” – C.S. Lewis My script […]
The Way of the Cross
April 5, 2009 by Leave a Comment
The Way of the Cross tells the story of three distinct families who are each dealing with the absence of fathers while confronting painful realities in their respective lives. These three stories are linked together by a Stranger who enters their lives and tries to bring about a peace they desperately want and need. The play delves into themes of patience and waiting as we hope for things to change; and as we struggle with the limitations that life sometimes places upon us.

It was just 2 months ago when I began rehearsals with The Way of the Cross. I don’t know where the time has gone, but tonight after all our hard work we open. The dress on Thursday went very well and it seems we’re all on the same page and ready to go. I’m proud […]
Deep into Rehearsals

I’ve been deep into rehearsals for The Way of the Cross, an Easter Production which has only 3 performances on April 4 and 5. The group of 13 volunteer actors are doing a great job of coming together. Throughout this process, I’ve been stressed just trying to get the right performances out of each of […]

My next project is underway as we speak. I’ve spent the last month coming up with an Easter play for the Palm Sunday weekend (April 4 and 5), to be performed at the Stone Church. After barricading myself inside for 2 weeks and drinking a lot of tea in the process, I came up with […]

Most of December I devoted in getting Coffee & Cake onto the stage and it was well received over the December 13th weekend. We had a total of 3 performances and I was very proud of the many hours people put into the project. This production involved approximately 40 volunteers coming together and during the […]
Coffee and Cake
December 14, 2008 by Leave a Comment
Coffee & Cake was performed at the Stone Church on December 13 & 14, 2008. The entire production was put together by mostly volunteers. The play combined a drama with music and revolved around a wacky couple whose very traditional views are tested around the holiday season. The play sheds light on the true meaning of Christmas and deals with themes of acceptance and tolerance.

We’ve been at tech for a week for Coffee & Cake and had a dress rehearsal on Thursday. Tonight we open and we’re ready. I also have a part in this play and look forward to getting back on the stage; it’s been over a year. The music has really pulled together this past week […]
More Than Just About Survival

I am in the last week of rehearsals for Coffee & Cake and am currently into tech week. We had a scare last weekend when one of our actors got into a serious accident, totaled his van but he escaped with barely a scratch. He was on crutches for one day of rehearsals and then […]
Deadline is Looming

The Tree of Life is done, albeit it in rough form. I’ve taken the last few days away from the script just to give me some breathing space from it. I also gave it to a couple people to read to get instant feedback. I think I know what I have to do in the […]
