Took me long enough. Finally made my way to see Jersey Boys on Broadway. One reason is that I am a Bargain Broadway Buyer. I use a couple of discount ticket sites to avoid paying full ticket prices. It means I miss a few sold out shows but I am able to see many more … Continue reading Jersey Boys

New Bedford, MA (+the future of Freedom Training)
As previously noted my ten minute play "Freedom Training" was included in the 14th Annual Short Play Marathon for November 12 in New Bedford, Massachusetts.

Just One Political Note
OK, just this once. This blog was set up to chat about the plays I write and that are produced, the theater I see from time to time, the food I eat out and the food I love to cook. It was not intended to be political in any way, but the last election was … Continue reading Just One Political Note

This is praise for an evening well spent with Kristin Chenoweth in her show My Love Letter to Broadway. I can't remember the last time I had such a great time in the theater for a … Continue reading Kristen Chenoweth is Amazing!

It made the first cut of 37 plays from 308 submissions they received. I don't know the next steps but eventually they will probably cut … Continue reading Semi-Finalist in Rover Dramawerks Festival
Thin Mints Cereal
I am truly frightened. I have not eaten a bowl of cereal for decades. Once I figured out how to cook some bacon and a nice scrambled egg I left that reassuring milk filled bowl behind. I really haven't missed it. I have even eliminated most of my milk consumption (after building strong bones and … Continue reading Thin Mints Cereal
