GONE FISHIN'

Goodness knows I haven't been posting regularly in this space. What little blogging energy I have left over is devoted to work. However, for any lost souls who find their way here, be advised that for the next two weeks I'll be up at the MacDowell Colony third-drafting a play, putting together an opera libretto treatment and scratching out a pilot episode. Yes, it's been a busy past year-and-a-half and should get even busier.

Call me Sir Freelancelot

Been very busy in the new year with extracurricular writing and creative projects. In case you're interested:

The Times (UK): Profile of Mandy Patinkin, who was concertizing in London, and a thought piece on the sexual politics of Spring Awakening.

A preview piece on Jan Fabre's upcoming Orgy of Tolerance, part of Peak Performances' new online blogazine, In Site.

Time Out New York: Keep our Theater page bookmarked and check every week. We're trying to generate more web-only content, such as more blogs, video segments, etc. Here's a video of me interviewing Will Ferrell and another getting the word of the street about all the Broadway closings this month. Also, our awesome new theater blog, Upstage, will debut very soon.

Also, NEWS:
In late May, the one-act opera I wrote with Stefan Weisman, Fade, will be performed in San Francisco, courtesy of Goat Hall Productions.

Early February, I'll have a full cast reading of the 2nd draft of my first play, Vicarious. It's private, but if things go well, who knows? Maybe an invited reading in the spring.

I'm applying to The MacDowell Colony for two weeks this summer. Please keep everything crossed so I get in: fingers, legs, eyes and, naturally, your hot buns.
