So…the latest episode of Monster Literature, “Robin Hood: Prince of…MONSTERS!” closed this past weekend, and it went fantastic-goric. It was a huge step for whole the gang- in terms of production, performance and especially audience! With most of our 8 shows sold out over the 2 weekends, nearly 400 Park Slope kids and parents got [...]
This weekend, the next installment of “Monster Literature” opens- “Robin Hood: Prince of…MONSTERS!” and I have to say I’m very excited for this show. I was trying to think of clever ways to describe the show- I keep saying it’s like Wishbone meets the Terminator- or I talk about how it’s like an 80s cartoon for [...]
Before the turn of 2010, myself and fellow playwright Maya Macdonald assembled a rag tag group of playwrights to meet weekly and share and talk about the kind of work we’re all doing. We’re currently one month in, and going strong!
One of the many things I’m enjoying (besides the fact that everyone is hilarious) is [...]
Following the success of the previous installment, the Brooklyn Lyceum and Mainspring Collective have kindly asked me to pen a second installment of my children’s theatre series Monster Literature. Huzzah!
Episode 2 is called Robin Hood: Prince of…MONSTERS!, and a draft of it is already finished and ready to be worked upon.

Two one-acts of mine were featured as part of it: Dizzy Dizzy Dingo Breath’s Bad Day and Gibbins. Having seen these performed before, and having been a [...]
So…my children’s play “Twas the Night Before…Monsters!”- the first part of my serialized short play series for kids “Monster Literature”- is going up next weekend at the Brooklyn Lyceum. And it’s going to be friggin awesome.
The series is all about how this evil wizard attempts to destroy the spirit of humanity by sending his army [...]
Just when I thought I was down for the count for 2009 in terms of getting a show up in a full productionish way, I happen upon a bit of fun.
So the other day my friend Jenna, who works at the Brooklyn Lyceum now, writes me online and is all like “Oh man, I want [...]
So…the reading of PLAGUED happened Monday night, and boy howdy, was I proud. The show is in great shape- there’s still work to be done, but it’s a giant leap from where we were back in July. We had a great turn out, and the cast gave it all they had, and now we proceed [...]

With original music [...]
