“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.

Here’s the short film that Salem, Va. filmmaker Hank Ebert made out of my script “My Kid Could Paint That.”

“Great the Cheese!” at Gone in 60 Seconds Festival, New York

Sometimes life imitates art. Sometimes art imitates life. This is a more or less true account of an incident that happened at home when my wife asked me to hand her the cheese grater.

She wasn’t amused. Fortunately, the audience at the Gone in 60 Seconds Festival of one-minute scripts at Brooklyn College in New York was.

Here’s “Great the Cheese!” in June 2008.

“He Never Barbecues”

Whenever there’s a bad crime, it seems the neighbors always say the suspect seemed strange in some way. But what if someone’s just strange and not a criminal?

Here’s my take: “He Never Barbecues.” This was a staged reading at No Shame Theatre, Roanoke, Va., in June 2007.

Here’s a brief excerpt from my one-act “Hamlet on Spring Break,” performed at North Forsyth High School in Winston-Salem, N.C. in May 2007.

The script is published by Playscripts and is one of my most frequently-performed works.
