2025 So Far
After many years of trying, I finally got a play into Little Fish Theatre's Pick of the Vine. BEAR JUDGMENT runs through August 24th.
In August, my full-length play, BOYS OF A CERTAIN AGE was one if 300 plays selected for a reading at CCAE Theatricals in Escondido, CA.
My ten-minute play, INTERCOM, was selected (out of 600 plays!!!!) for the Redlands Theatre Festival New Works Collection 3rd season. It was performed in July.
In April, my full-length play, IFs
(Imaginary Friends) was selected for a stage reading at Trinity Theatre Company's
New Works Festival. It was received so well, they added it to their production schedule for the end of this year!
My multi-award winning play, THE REST OF THE STORY, was produced as part of Storefront Theatre's The Best of Short Shorts.
2024 Highlights
The year kicked off with my dog park play, IN DOGS WE TRUST, winning first place in the 2024 Meanwhile Park Playwright Prize. It was produced in Salt Lake City in July.
My ten-minute play, STRAIGHT ACTING, was produced at Acting Out's Quare Tales in both Dublin and Cork. It won the Jury Award for Best Short Play! AND also won second place winner of the Audience Award.

And in October, my play, PIECES, was one of three finalists for Murphy Creek Theatre's 2024 Quill to Act Playwriting Festival. It was read in front of an audience and received some great feedback.
Oh yeah, and in November, I went to Japan where five of my one-minute plays were produced at a festival in Tokyo. First in Japanese then in English.
Three of my short plays were published in lit mags/anthologies, with one more ready to go early next year.
Speaking of publishing, I had 27 short stories published this year alone (breaking all records), 9 more accepted to be published in 2025.
