You Must Always Move On

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 […]

Drinking a Lot of Tea in the Process

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 […]

Defined by Opportunities

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 […]

Break Many Legs

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 […]

Keep Climbing, Don’t Look Down

I spend a lot of time on the internet looking for places to send off my screenplays/plays. Moviebytes is a great source for screenwriters. It has a comprehensive list of all screenwriting contests in the world – most of them are in the U.S. I have sent my screenplays to many contests over the years […]

Looking Down at the Blank Page

Check out the  section of the website if you haven’t done so yet. I spent the last few days updating webpages and inputting production photos of Blue. Thanks to Andrew Shortt for taking these great shots. I got another rejection letter from a screenwriting contest last week. This one was for my screenplay The School. […]

"Well, Dear, Life is a Casting Off"

I finished writing a rough draft of Circus this past week. This is one of my favorite parts in the creative process when the first draft is completed on paper and now it’s time to type it onto the computer. When I move to the computer, the play will no doubt transform and it should. […]
