“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.

“Audition Monologue No. 3” at Gone in 60 Seconds Festival, UK

 

At the time, my son was auditioning and need a monologue. So I wrote him one. He didn’t use it, but the Gone in 60 Seconds Festival did at its UK edition in June 2009.

“Khess” at the Gone in 60 Seconds Festival, UK

I played one of the Klansman in the Larry Shue comedy “The Foreigner” at Mill Mountain Theatre in Roanoke, Va. (a non-speaking role.)

That led to this one-minute piece, “Khess,” which played at the Gone in 60 Seconds Festival in the UK in June 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 »

Meeting Miss Roanoke Valley

The hard life of a playwright.

Yes, being a playwright is hard work. But sometimes you get to meet celebrities — such as Miss Roanoke Valley.

Here I am with Lindsay Morris at a Salem Red Sox game in summer 2009.

Actually, this has nothing to do with me being a playwright. I just happened to be at the game. So did she.
