The third in our series of videos is Jessica Love, who is playing The Dryer:
I originally saw Jessica many many moons ago when she played the lead in the Julliard workshop of Adam Symkowitz’s play Incendiary. I thought she was fantastic and thought “Wouldn’t it be awesome if she was in a play of mine?” [...]
As promised, here’s the second in the series of cast interviews for “The Conveniences of Modern Living” in the NY Fringe:
David Ian Lee was actually in two of my favorite shows in NYC last year- Universal Robots and Infectious Opportunity, so I kind of nerded out when he was able to come aboard this show. [...]
It’s finally here.
After four years, two workshops, so many drafts its not even funny- “The Conveniences of Modern Living” is opening in the NY International Fringe Festival next Tuesday. We had our tech rehearsal Sunday (you only get one), and things are looking like they’re really coming together.

The big news for August (that I promised in May, ha ha), is that my play “The Conveniences of Modern Living” is going up in the Fringe.
This is a play I’ve been working on for a very, very long time (about four year now, incredibly)- and in the final version of the play, the director [...]

Tonight is the premiere of Verdi’s Attila at the Metropolitan opera, conducted by Riccardo Muti, with costumes by Prada. And this is not just the premiere this season, mind you. This is the first time this work has ever been heard at the Met. EVER. Since it was written. In 1846!
I will not be there [...]
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 [...]
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.
