I’ve had to put the re-write of my play Circus on hold while I write the upcoming Christmas production for my church.  I struggled through the month of July to come up with an original plot to tell the Christmas story.  This in fact is the challenge of any script. I remember back in my […]

My focus for the last two months has mainly been the re-write of Circus.  I completed a new draft a couple days ago and have read it over once to get a sense of the play.  The play has expanded from four to five characters.  I was able to use all the history of the […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
