Forever grateful to these artists for this honor. Here are a few photos from their amazing performances!

Dogs can’t wait for McIntosh! 🐾🍎

“I haven’t been this excited since the last time the doorbell rang!”
“This film is a treat! And speaking of treats…”
“Yes, I am a good boy. Why do you ask?”

These are all things they would say if they could talk.

McIntosh is currently on the festival circuit.

Those who know me know that “Keep the Music Going” holds a particularly special place for me.

In the 9 or so years I’ve been writing plays, I’ve never had a production in Chicago.

Next weekend that changes at Otherworld Theatre’s Paragon Play Festival!

I’m so grateful to all the directors, the Angela’s, the Karen’s, and David’s on this play’s journey, and excited for what comes next!

Saw that CBS rebooted Hollywood Squares!

Back in 2021, I wrote a short play for Zoom called “Ex Gets the Square” which takes place during the filming of an episode.
