Coloring Contest
Hello. Emerging deep from the bowels of Rome, I surface long enough to direct you to the SHANGHAI LOW THEATRICALS website, and our first annual Coloring Contest. Really, it's a fund-raiser, but a fun one - a fun-raiser, if you will. (If you won't, I completely...

Yes, the third installment of the serial novel is up at the SHANGHAI LOW website! Things are rolling right along for Will and Kit, as we learn more about Kit's past and present troubles. Enjoy!
What I did on my Summer Vacation
Rather than talk about the show (there are reviews all over the place), here are a few images from KING LEAR at the Shakespeare theatre. The Stocking of Kent. I'm kneeling, holding the irascible Project Manager of Shanghai Low Theatricals, Mr. Steve Pickering. The...
Poker Night
Today should have been a writing day. Had it all planned. But then my fellow castmates decided on a poker night. 12 hours, two separate games, one a winner-take-all tournament, the other a friendly night game with people coming and going. I lost the tournament to my...

DC Adventures – 2
...and LEAR is open! The reviews are fantastic, in that even when they hate it, they HATE it. There is no middle ground in this production. It's balls-out, literally. No one can walk away without strong feelings. The Washington Post loved it, the Washington Times...
D.C. Adventures – Part 1
I arrived in the nation's capitol a week ago today, which is to say Monday the 18th. It has already been a great ride, and I have the rest of the summer ahead of me. As a reminder, I'm in D.C. to work on the remount of Bob Falls' KING LEAR starring Stacy...
Prolific
Except here, I guess. The last six months have been a testament to devoted work. The Roman novel is not yet finished, but it's going to be massive anyway, and I'm in the home stretch. Meanwhile, with my partners at Shanghai Low, I've worked to complete...
