Need something for a case of the Mondays? My new comedy, “Social Distancing” – about a couple trying to keep it together in the wake of a global pandemic (sound familiar?), with one of them handling it much better than the other, until they find the silver lining – will be featured on tonight’s episode of Earworm Audio Theatre at 6 PM ET, and thereafter you can catch it on many platforms, including Apple podcasts, Spotify and iHeartRadio. I hope you enjoy!

Wanted to share some exciting news: I’ve been chosen with my play GEESE for Season One of the virtual theatre festival The Big Break! I had a really cool roundtable discussion last night on Twitch with some of the other playwrights, and this is shaping up to be an awesome festival. Rehearsals are going on now, with filming set to begin in a few weeks. As always, I’ll be sure to post links when I get them. Happy Friday!
Writing
Just wanted to drop a note to thank everyone for the support and positive feedback I’m getting on my chapbook, Three in the Morning and You Don’t Smoke Anymore – and to let y’all know that fresh writing is on the way, including a play I’ve been workshopping called, appropriately enough, “Social Distancing.” Stay safe and healthy!
Plays
I recently licensed one of my plays – “Out on a Limb” which was originally performed a few years ago at the Kentucky State Fair – to Drama Notebook which, among other things, provides scripts for elementary, middle school and high school students, and I just had to share this fun cover art they came up with! More information, including an excerpt from this play, can be found here.
Fiction and Plays
The new issue of Fleas on the Dog is live today – there’s some really great writing in there, and I’m thrilled to be a part of it.
This marks the first time I’ve published one of my plays – “Three Sides” – which was produced at festivals in Cranston, RI and Morgantown, WV.
I also have a piece of flash – “Room 310” – which is featured in my forthcoming chapbook, Three in the Morning and You Don’t Smoke Anymore to be published by Etchings Press. Yes, I have a chapbook coming out, later this month (fingers crossed). As always, I’ll post about it when it happens. Happy Friday!
Fiction and Plays
I had the pleasure of writing a blurb for a great short story that will be included in the next issue of Fleas on the Dog. This one’s gonna be chock-full of content, including a new piece of flash from me and my first time every publishing a play. It’ll go live next month – links to follow!
Plays
And speaking of Fleas on the Dog (which I was in my last Fiction post) Volume 6 will also feature my play “Three Sides” which has been performed in festivals in Rhode Island and West Virginia but this will be the first time it’s published. Should be out in May – links to follow!
Plays
This is a big weekend for “Geese” – my play about how a gaggle of geese in your parking spot can put everything in perspective will be part of both the Snowdance 10 Minute Comedy Festival presented by the Over Our Head Players in Racine, WI (where it’s been playing all month) and the One Act Festival of New Works at the M.T. Pockets Theatre in Morgantown, WV (where it’s opening tonight)
Plays
It’s turning out to be a busy winter for “Geese” – my one-act comedy about how a gaggle of geese wreak havoc on an unsuspecting middle manager and his supportive and understanding (to a point!) wife. “Geese” will be part of the 2020 Snowdance® 16th Anniversary 10 Minute Comedy Festival produced by the Over Our Head Players of Racine, Wisconsin, beginning next week and running through March 1. In addition, I just learned that “Geese” was chosen for the One Act Festival of New Works at the M.T. Pockets Theatre in Morgantown, West Virginia, February 20-23. If you live in either of those areas, and the geese aren’t in your parking spot, you should check it out!
