As part of the “First Peek” Series of new play readings by members of the Playwrights Union, my play “Circle Forward” will have its very first public reading (virtually on Zoom) on Saturday June 12 at 3:30 PDT (US). Tickets are FREE — just RSVP/register HERE and you’ll be sent the Zoom link just before the reading.

“Circle Forward” synopsis: When a 15 year old boy claims to be the reincarnation of a writer's late husband, she must come to terms with her version of the past. The reading will run about 1 hour 15 minutes, with a short talkback afterwards for those that wish to stay a few minutes and ask questions or offer constructive feedback.

The “First Peek” series is for brand new plays, all works in progress, so know that you’re seeing and hearing an early draft, and your presence and feedback really matters!

Here’s my amazing cast: Meeghan Holaway, Catia Ojeda, Max Torina, and Caitlin Crawley.

RSVP for this free reading today! You can watch in your pajamas! (And check out the other four plays in this year’s “First Peek” series — all wonderful, all different!)

Join me for a free Salon event featuring my one-act radio play “90024: Westwood – “ALL INFORMATION HEREIN IS CLASSIFIED” commissioned by Antaeus Theatre Company as part of their inaugural Zip Code Plays series!

On April 17 at 7:00 pm Pacific time (USA), there will be a FREE live panel discussion (over Zoom) co-presented by Antaeus Theatre Company & The Westwood Village Improvement Association.

We’ll begin the event by listening to the 30-minute play, which will be followed by a discussion with me and Director Carolyn Ratteray, Artistic Director Kitty Swink, and Executive Director of the Westwood Village Improvement Association, Andrew Thomas. Together, we’ll delve into the creative process behind the play, as we learn more about the local landscape and community in Westwood.

And if you can’t make it, please join the 40,000 others who have taken a few moments to listen HERE to the radio play — it’s also FREE! Here’s a synopsis: Fresh from participating in her first street protests, 80-year old Eleanor Pender McAdams seems an unlikely subject for an FBI investigation — but who really has the upper hand? This “official file” of recordings and interviews reveals the complexities of standing up for something bigger than yourself in the modern world.

Sad to hear about the closing of a legendary Los Angeles nightclub/venue called Rockwell Table & Stage. I had the privilege of performing here a few years ago as part of their series “A Little New Music” which showcased songs from brand new musicals.

I got to sing “People Person” which was written by Brian Woodbury for his musical “Ghost-s: The Musical” in which I play an evil real estate developer. Take a few minutes to watch the video:

As soon as it’s safe to do so, please support your local music and theater establishments. They’re gonna need all the help they can get. And seeing live performance is good for the soul!!

The wonderful fans of NPR’s comedy quiz show “Says You!” have done it again: this weekend’s tapings (in front of live audiences) are sold out!

I’m so excited to be on the panel of “Says You!” again later this month! This hilarious NPR quiz show is taped in front of live audience, and is always a lot of fun.

On Saturday January 25, we’ll be performing/taping in the San Bernadino College Auditorium. Tickets available now! STANDARD TICKET:  Admission includes open seating in the Auditorium theater.  Show begins at 3:00p and ends around 6:00 (with a brief intermission).

A summary of the show: Take one word, add two teams, create three definitions and throw in a live audience. And, that’s Says You! – the last word in radio quiz shows since 1996. If you’re new to the show, join our panelists as our host challenges them with the most interesting and difficult questions you’re likely to hear on the airwaves. Curious listeners know our motto: It’s not important to know the answers…it’s important to like the answers!
