The 24-hour play project at Mill Mountain Theatre, Roanoke, Va.

I always wear my jester's cap when I take part in the 24-hour play project. Here I am writing away in the Hollins University library.

In July 2010, I was invited — for the second time — to be one of the writers in the 24-hour play project at Mill Mountain Theatre.

We gathered on a Friday night. The writers drew a director from the hat. The directors drew a cast. Then we drew theme, setting and genre.

I drew “soap opera,” “cocktail lounge” and “slow but steady wins the race.”

Then the writer writes overnight, the director rehearses the cast the next day and the night we hit the stage with a series of 10-minute scripts.

My result: “A Vampire Soap Opera: The Old and the Restless.”

Here are some of the photos of the event. Read the rest of this entry »

“The Ghost Lamp” at Gone in 60 Seconds Festival, New York

Here are photos from my piece “The Ghost Lamp,” performed at the “Gone in 60 Seconds” Festival at Brooklyn College, New York on June 12-13, 2009. The festival features one-minute scripts and is bi-continental, with part of the festival in New York and part in the U.K.

I wrote this piece when Mill Mountain Theatre in Roanoke, Virginia abruptly closed. Thankfully, it has since reopened.

“The Unified Field Theory of Everything” at Gone in 60 Seconds Festival, New York

In physics, the search is on for a “unified field theory of everything” — one simple (or not so simple) theory that would explain the entire universe.

I did my take on that in a one-minute script called, aptly enough, “The Unified Field Theory of Everything.” Here are a series of photos from when it was done at the Gone in 60 Seconds Festival at Brooklyn College, New York on June 12-13, 2009.

“This Town Ain’t Big Enough For the Both Of Us” at Lakeshore Players, Minnesota

An ordinary western. Or not.

What starts out as a comic western gunfight scene turns into . . . well, two gunslingers trying to match each other on how to make the town bigger. One pushes residential development, the other commercial development.

That’s “This Town Ain’t Big Enough For the Both Of Us,” which was produced by the Lakeshore Players in White Bear Lake, Minnesota as part of the group’s annual festival of 10-minute players. (Mine weighs in at about six or so.)

This was produced June 4-7, 2009.

Here are some more production photos, and a cast photo: Read the rest of this entry »
