Things I’m doing.

I’m super-excited to have been invited to the Dale Radio podcast this month.  Mr. Seever was the consummate host and we chatted about a variety of topics while drinking whiskey.   Click here to listen to the show!

Along with a rag-tag group of NY Neos, Brendan and I devised and performed in “The Complete and Condensed Stage Directions of Eugene O’Neill, Vol. 1,” a New York Neo-Futurist prime time show.  It was a sold-out run and we received delightful reviews in the “NY Times,” The New Yorker and New York Magazine to name a few.  We were also lucky enough to perform the show at The Barrow Street Theatre for a limited run.  Aaaaand, we just returned from taking the show to DC be part of a very fancy Eugene O’Neill festival at Arena Stage.  It was a blast.  To top it all off, we were just nominated for a Drama Desk Award for “Unique Theatrical Experience.”  What fun!

A little while ago, I performed a few plays at Real Characters, a monthly storytelling/reading series of awesomeness.  You can take a look at a video from said performance here.  

Here’s me in a cape on Bored to Death.

I’m in the early-making stages of a piece called Falling.  Keep your eyes peeled.
